Auckland Ferry Day to Waiheke: Cable Bay, Batch, Stonyridge and Mudbrick Vineyards
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
Waiheke IslandFour vineyards, sit-down tastings and a local guide. Guides on this tour live on Waiheke, know the winemakers, know which table to grab and know the stories behind the island and its people. Lunch is at Batch Winery, the highest point on the island, with wide views over the water. Guests sit down to a meal and a glass and meet the rest of the group. Lunch is paid for separately. After lunch come more tastings at Stonyridge, then the last stop at Mudbrick Vineyard, often called the most iconic on Waiheke, for a final glass above the Hauraki Gulf. The day ends with the ride back to the ferry, or a drop-off somewhere else on the island for those who want to stay longer.
