Experience Waiheke’s Finest Food & Wine

The arrival of the MICHELIN Guide is wonderful recognition for New Zealand’s thriving food scene—and it’s something we’ve been celebrating on Waiheke Island for years.

At Waiheke Wine Tours, we visit Mudbrick Vineyard every single day, giving our guests the opportunity to experience one of New Zealand’s most iconic vineyard restaurants, renowned for its spectacular views, exceptional hospitality, and award-winning food and wine.

For those looking for an even more exclusive culinary experience, our private tours can include a reservation at Tantalus Estate, one of Waiheke’s premier dining destinations and a restaurant recognised in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide New Zealand selection. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to enjoy an unforgettable lunch, we’ll happily curate the perfect itinerary for you.
