Waiheke Island: Māori Culture, Art, Walking Tour with Wine & Food

Te Ahi Kā is an exclusive private journey through Waiheke, curated to bring together Māori culture, spectacular landscapes, exceptional wine, cuisine and contemporary art. Hosted by Paora, your experience begins with an easy stroll through the stunning Matiatia headlands, with native landscapes and sweeping views across the Hauraki Gulf towards Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). Along the way, experience Māori storytelling, mihimihi, whakatau and karakia while discovering the connection between tangata (people), whenua (land) and moana (sea). From the tranquillity of the headlands, your private journey continues at a relaxed pace to an iconic Waiheke vineyard for a curated wine tasting, followed by a leisurely Mediterranean-inspired vineyard lunch and a visit celebrating the island’s vibrant contemporary art scene. More than a traditional wine tour, Te Ahi Kā is a beautifully curated luxury experience of Waiheke — intimate, authentic, and deeply connected to the island's culture and spirit.
