wine tastings
Visited great wine farms they were smaller but much nicer. Especially the people that explained the making of the wine and you got such generous tastings

Great experience
We had a wonderful day and enjoyed our visit to Waiheke. Good size group and company. Lunch would probably be better at Casita Miró.

Overall happy with our tour
Loved Mudbrick Winery - the lady Emily was very informative and gave loads of information about the wines. Casita Miro was our overall favourite!! The food pairing with the wine was an experience that was absolutely amazing - wish we could have stayed here for lunch!! The Bach for lunch had an amazing view and the food was delicious - VERY expensive for the wine though. Our lest favourite was Postage Stamp. We were put at a table and basically left. The guy poured a very small amount of wine into the glass and left us - not much information given on the wine and no option to purchase any either. We felt like we were an inconvenience not a customer!! Our driver Lydia was very informative and went above and beyond when I left my bag behind - went back and retrieved it for me. Overall a lovely day out!!
