The Experience

Experience Waiheke as the day turns golden.

Escape to Waiheke for an unforgettable evening of premium wine, exceptional food and some of the island’s most beautiful sunset scenery.

Your evening begins with guided tastings at two handpicked Waiheke vineyards, where you’ll discover distinctive island wines while your local guide shares the stories behind the vineyards, winemakers and landscape.

As the afternoon light softens, travel through rolling vineyards and along Waiheke’s spectacular coastline before settling in for a gourmet two-course dinner at one of the island’s outstanding dining destinations.

Choose between the relaxed vineyard atmosphere of Mudbrick’s Archive Bar & Bistro or beachfront dining at Ki Māha overlooking Onetangi Beach. For an even more elevated experience, an upgrade to Mudbrick’s premium dining experience can be arranged at an additional cost.

With every detail taken care of, from transport and tastings to dinner and ferry tickets, all that’s left to do is relax, raise a glass and watch Waiheke turn golden.
