Waiheke Island, known as New Zealand’s “island of wine,” is home to approximately 30 boutique wineries that craft unique, premium wines. Its warm, coastal climate provides ideal conditions for growing Bordeaux-style reds like Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with whites such as Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Some of the notable wineries include Man O’ War, Mudbrick, Tantalus Estate, Cable Bay and Stoneyridge. Explore the wineries at your leisure or join a comprehensive small group or private wine tour to gain expert insight into the wine varieties the island has to offer as part of your customisable itinerary with us.
Delamore Lodge is tucked away in the secluded Owhanake Bay on picturesque Waiheke Island. Though just 92 km² in size, Waiheke is famed for its 40 km of stunning beaches and scenic walking trails. The island’s rolling hills provide countless vantage points with sweeping views of the Hauraki Gulf. Thanks to its location, Waiheke enjoys a warmer, sunnier, and less humid climate than nearby Auckland, which is situated just under 18 km away by ferry or helicopter.
