Gastronomic Waiheke Day: Casita Miro Pairing, Olive Oil, Beer or Spirits, Lunch

The Gastronomic Waiheke day runs on food as much as wine, with lunch included and a cap of 11 guests. It goes ahead with a minimum of 4 people. The day starts on the 10am ferry from downtown Auckland, a 35-minute crossing of the Hauraki Gulf. The guide is waiting on arrival, and the drive to the first stop follows the coast. First comes Casita Miro, a Spanish-inspired vineyard, for a food and wine pairing. Then a tasting at the Allpress Olive Grove, and lunch at a boutique vineyard. The finish is craft beer or spirits at The Heke Brewery and Distillery. The guide times it so you reach the return ferry.
