Waiheke + wine trail = perfect day. The audio between vineyards made the whole island feel like one big story. Absolutely loved it.
We're Syrah people and it picked wineries that were exactly our vibe. Beautiful day, beautiful wines. Couldn't ask for more.
Good concept for Waiheke. Found a couple of tucked away places we'd have completely missed. Narration was informative without being try-hard.
Visiting from Portugal and this was such a cool way to explore. The comparison to Mediterranean varietals in the narration resonated.
