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 the picturesque Waiheke Island. Though just 92 km² in size, Waiheke Island boasts 40 km of beautiful beaches along its coastline. Its hilly landscape offers countless vantage points overlooking the Hauraki Gulf. Thanks to its location, the island enjoys a warmer, sunnier, and less humid climate than nearby Auckland, which is situated just under 18 km away.
