This Waiheke Island Gourmet Food and Wine Bus Tour lasts about five and a half hours and includes visits to three vineyards, with tastings and a family-style lunch. The tour begins with a 30-minute stop at Kennedy Point Vineyard, where guests sample local wines, depending on venue availability. Next, there is a 30-minute olive oil tasting featuring different varieties such as the peppery Greek Koreneiki, Spanish Picual, Tuscan Frantoio, and island blends. After that, the tour visits a Spanish-influenced vineyard for a 90-minute lunch served family-style, combining local wines with tapas-style food. This venue includes Gaudi-inspired mosaic artwork and may be replaced if unavailable. The final stop is a 45-minute visit to The Heke Brewery & Distillery, where guests can choose between tasting small-batch craft whisky or enjoying a glass of local wine in a relaxed setting. The tour includes snacks like Waiheke oysters when available, live commentary by a local guide, wine tastings at two vineyards, olive oil tasting, lunch, air conditioning on the bus, and all local taxes. Ferry tickets to Waiheke Island are not included and must be purchased separately. Gratuities and drinks during lunch are also excluded. The tour is shared with others, with a minimum of two and a maximum of fifteen participants. Seasonal factors may affect oyster availability, and the itinerary or venues may change without notice. Vegetarian options are available if requested at booking. The minimum age for participants is 18 years. The tour is not recommended for vegans or those with severe nut allergies, and an Epipen must be carried for anaphylactic allergies.
