Introduction

Waiheke Island is Auckland's 'island of wine', half an hour by ferry. Rolling vineyards, olive groves and beaches dot the coast; cellar-door tastings and lazy shores combine — a turquoise oasis where Aucklanders escape the city on weekends. Onetangi and Man O'War bays hold clear water; cellar-door terraces look back to Auckland's skyline.
