Enjoy Waiheke Island’s breathtaking scenery, world class wineries and fine New Zealand hospitality. This experience includes 2 nights at the luxury Marino Ridge, a small group wine tour with Waiheke Island Wine Tours, visiting several boutique wineries along with a pre-booked winery lunch (lunch at extra cost) and return ferries from Auckland City. This is the perfect escape for those wanting to get away from it all and indulge!

Potential winery visits could include:

Cable Bay

This establishment produces premium hand crafted wines reflective of the terroir of their estate-owned vineyards located on Waiheke Island and in Marlborough – two of the most distinctive and desirable wine growing regions in New Zealand. The estate is situated on the stunning west coast of Waiheke Island and includes vineyards, the winery, olive groves, organic gardens, two restaurants, private event spaces, a cellar door and an expansive outdoor lawn area with spectacular views.

Casita Miro

Casita Miro specialises in the cuisine of Spain and the wider Mediterranean Rim and take enormous pleasure in sharing their love for fine food, wine and sherry. Casita Miro is all about shared dining and their ‘tapas’ and ‘raciones’ (large plates) are perfect for a fun, relaxed and social dining experience.

Stonyridge

Stonyridge was referred to as “One of the Top Ten Must Visit Wineries in the World” by Guardian UK and most recently topped the list for the best Cabernet Merlot in The Age/Sydney Morning Herald Good Wine Guide 2013. The Stonyridge Larose 2010 scored 97 points to make it the highest equal scoring red wine in 2013 and finished ahead of all of Australia’s most iconic Cabernet Merlots! Stonyridge Larose is the favourite of the former NZ Prime Minister, Sir John Key and has been enjoyed by King Juan Carlos of Spain and Queen Elizabeth II, the Russian President, the Prime Minister of Australia, and the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and has sold at some of the world’s best restaurants including Ducasse at the Dorchester in London and Viridiana in Madrid. Located on a gently North-Facing Valley 1km from Onetangi Beach, this is a must visit.
