…Amazing experience…
“Our experience with the Wine Tasting Company for the Waiheke Wine Tour – Sip & Savour Tour was every positive adjective I can come up with! Our Guide Cami was charming, interesting, engaging, and knowledgeable of the area, elements of interest, the history of the wineries and the people of Waiheke. The wineries were welcoming and well prepared for our arrival. This was a truly amazing experience”.

…What a special day…
“What a special day! Cami was the best host! We were spoilt to a private tour (only 2 of us) with my youngest child and I enjoying our wine tasting day together on Waiheke. Casita Miro was a highlight. This is a must visit winery! Gracias Cami!”

…Part of our honeymoon..
“We booked this tour as a part of our honeymoon, and it was absolutely amazing! Nydia is a very knowledgeable guide and seemed to know everyone on the island. She made sure that we also had time to walk around the shops and beach during the tour, which was super nice. The wine and lunch were fantastic as well!”
MEGAN – VIATOR REVIEW
…What a fantastic day…
“We did the Best Cellar Wine Tour with Cami. What a fantastic day.
Cami was brilliant in providing background on the Island and obviously has great relationships with the 3 vineyards we visited. At each we had a dedicated expert explaining the background to the wines and vineyards in fabulous locations. Also, Cami booked a fabulous spot by the beach for lunch.
Highly recommended”

…Small group, last minute…
“Last minute booking and everything went super smooth. Small group which made it more personal, which we really enjoyed. Lunch was awesome food and scenery topped everything. Guide was very approachable and knowledgeable. Out of 3 wineries we only had food pairing with one of them. Else great day trip!”

…Amazing from start to finish…
“Margot was amazing from start to finish, amazing winery’s, gorgeous food – even if the view wasn’t the best due to the huge amount of rain on the day. Overall day was amazing and a great way to spend a mother and daughter day out sipping fine wine and eating gorgeous food. Thank you team.”

…Absolutely fantastic…
“Waiheke Island and the wine tour were absolutely fantastic! Lydia, our tour guide, was wonderful—so knowledgeable and clearly loved by the local community. It was heartwarming to see how connected she is to the area and how everyone seemed to know her. We visited three incredible vineyards, each offering something unique. The wine was excellent, and the complimentary lunch was delicious—we left feeling full, happily tipsy, and completely relaxed. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect—we were truly spoiled! This experience is an absolute must when you’re in Auckland. Highly recommended! 🍷”

Say Hi to Cami & Tui!
I’ve been on Waiheke Island for 25 years after moving here from Santiago, Chile. Since then, I have built a life filled with love and connections. I met my kiwi husband, Sam, 16 years ago and we have a beautiful family with two ‘chiwi’ children and two dogs. Our little Tui is a great co-host and loves visiting the vineyards and having a cuddle!
While I enjoy spending time with friends and family, soaking in the beauty of Waiheke Island, I also love unwinding with a beach walk and a great cup of coffee from my local café, or a cheeky glass of rosé at one of my favorite vineyards.
Come on tour with us!
