Half Moon Bay Beach

A 5-hour island escape with premium wine tastings at boutique vineyards and a gourmet beachfront lunch. Your local guide handles everything, so you simply arrive and indulge in exceptional wines, breathtaking coastal views, and a lunch you'll still be talking about long after the day is done. You'll visit three vineyards across the island, each selected for its unique character and outstanding wines. Enjoy guided tastings led by your Sommelier, who will share insights into what you're drinking and how Waiheke's unique microclimate shapes every bottle. Discover why the island produces wines you simply can't find anywhere else. Then comes lunch — a gourmet beachfront dining experience at a hat-awarded restaurant, the Kiwi equivalent of a Michelin star. Exceptional food, your feet practically in the sand, a glass of something you've just fallen in love with, and five hours that feel like the perfect island indulgence.
