Guests and guide together on a Waiheke vineyard lawn

Meet the family

An Italian family, an island home

We are not a tour desk. We are locals who love this island and treat every guest the way we would treat friends arriving for lunch.

Our story

Benvenuti to The Italian on Waiheke, our family-run wine tour and hospitality business.

We've called this island home since 2014, and sharing it is our greatest joy. We bring two loves to every tour: the warmth of Italian hospitality and the beauty of New Zealand's finest vineyards.

In small, intimate groups, we'll welcome you beyond the vines, to premium tastings, long lunches and the hidden corners of Waiheke most visitors never see.

  • Since 2014
  • Family-run
  • Small intimate groups
  • Italian hospitality

Come as a guest, leave as a friend.
