The Experience

Welcome to Uncorked, Waiheke Island’s most unique and immersive wine adventure — a moving vineyard experience aboard a luxury double-decker bus.

From the moment you step aboard, you’re welcomed by your personal sommelier, ready to guide you through Waiheke’s celebrated wine culture. Sip your way across the island as rolling vineyards, golden hillsides, and sparkling sea views slide by — all from the comfort of your elevated seat.

This isn’t just a tour — it’s a cellar door on the move, where every glass tells a story and every turn reveals another breathtaking vista.
