The Heke:
Situated amongst 4-acres of gardens on one of Waiheke’s main roads, The Heke is a new local favourite and is home to Waiheke Craft Beer and the award-winning Waiheke Whiskey.
The Heke Kitchen is a vibrant and family-friendly restaurant and bar that serves casual sharing plates – making it the perfect spot to relax on a beautiful sunny day.
As part of the Waiheke Wine and Dine tour you’ll enjoy a glass of wine or beer, and a selection of sharing plates including southern fried chicken, pork ribeye skewers marinated in garlic and black pepper, and roasted carrots.
Batch Winery:
Batch Winery is Waiheke’s highest vineyard with spectacular views over the Hauraki Gulf Islands. Surrounded by picturesque vines, the winery is a popular venue space and offers relaxed dining options and tastings.
Enjoy a gourmet picnic on the Waiheke Wine and Dine tour which is filled with homemade focaccia bread, chicken liver parfait, cold cut steak and chimichurri, hot smoked salmon, New Zealand cheeses, cured meats, and more. Also included is a seasonal dessert and a glass of Thomas Estate wine.
After an afternoon of wining and dining, you’re free to explore the island at your own leisure on the Hop-On Hop-Off Explorer Bus before making your way back to Matiatia Ferry Terminal for your sailing back to Auckland
