We genuinely believe there’s nothing quite like shared experiences in stunning surroundings to strengthen workplace bonds and elevate team performance. Research shows that employee satisfaction can increase by up to 50% when colleagues build genuine friendships, and that’s exactly what we facilitate. At Waiheke Wine Tours, we specialise in creating corporate experiences that turn colleagues into cohesive teams and teams into workplace families.
Come with us as strangers and leave as a unified force, energised and ready to tackle any challenge together.
Local Expertise, Island-Wide Connections
As a locally-owned touring company based right here on Waiheke Island, we possess insider knowledge that off-island operators simply can’t match. We’ve cultivated strong partnerships with the island’s finest venues, activity providers, and hospitality establishments over years of operation. Our dedicated Event Management team brings extensive expertise in crafting memorable corporate experiences, from intimate executive retreats to large-scale team celebrations.
Seamless, Stress-Free Planning
We understand that organising corporate events shouldn’t add to your workload. That’s why we act as your complete event concierge, managing every detail from start to finish. Whether you’re planning a half-day team outing, a full-day conference with activities, or a multi-day corporate retreat, we’ll handle:
Tailored to Your Team’s Unique Needs
We recognise that no two organisations are alike. Every team has different dynamics, objectives, and preferences. That’s why we never offer cookie-cutter packages. Instead, we take time to understand your company culture, goals, and budget, then design a bespoke experience that delivers exactly what your team needs.
Professional conference rooms and meeting spaces equipped for presentations, workshops, and strategic planning sessions. Available with full catering options including gourmet meals, morning and afternoon tea, coffee service, and beverage packages.
Māori Cultural Tours – Connect your team with New Zealand’s rich indigenous heritage through authentic cultural experiences, traditional performances, and storytelling that emphasise values of collaboration, respect, and community.
Culinary Adventures
The Island Challenge – Our signature team-building experience! This fun, interactive game incorporates problem-solving, communication, and collaboration challenges across multiple island locations. The day culminates with prize-giving and a hilarious photo slideshow during a celebratory lunch.
Additional Activities Include:
Make your event unforgettable with special entertainment:
From casual vineyard lunches to sophisticated multi-course dinners at award-winning restaurants, we’ll arrange dining experiences that showcase the island’s exceptional culinary scene, accommodating all dietary preferences.
Planning a multi-day retreat? We partner with exceptional accommodation providers across all budget ranges, from luxury lodges and boutique hotels to charming bed-and-breakfasts and self-contained holiday homes.
Knowledgeable Local Guides
Our passionate guides are true locals who bring Waiheke Island’s stories to life. They’ll share fascinating insights into the island’s history, culture, viticulture, and hidden gems that even many Aucklanders don’t know about.
Flexibility & Fun
Want to add games, quizzes, or themed competitions to your tour? Seeking the ideal soundtrack for your journey? Our guides are experts at reading the room and adjusting the experience to match your group’s energy and preferences.
Complete Coordination
As your one-stop solution for Auckland and Waiheke getaways, we eliminate the stress of dealing with multiple vendors. One point of contact, seamless coordination, and flawless execution from start to finish.
Team-building experiences foster personal growth, enhance job satisfaction, and mitigate workplace stress. By stepping away from the office environment and engaging in shared adventures, your team will develop stronger communication skills, build trust, and create positive memories that translate into better workplace collaboration.
The benefits extend far beyond the event itself. Teams return to work with renewed enthusiasm, stronger interpersonal connections, and improved problem-solving abilities that directly impact your organisation’s success.
We absolutely love designing and executing memorable corporate events. Whether you’re celebrating company milestones, rewarding high performers, welcoming new team members, or simply investing in your most valuable asset—your people—we’re here to make it extraordinary.
Let’s discuss the possibilities for your team. We’ll explore your objectives, preferences, and budget, then craft a bespoke experience that exceeds your expectations.
