Drive Waiheke Island yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole island in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point — most people begin at the Matiatia Ferry Terminal as they roll off the ferry, but Oneroa or anywhere on the island works just as well — choose the cellar doors you want from the 22 on the map, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. 56 narrated stories cover the vineyards, bays and history: as you turn onto Onetangi Road you'll hear how, in 1987, Stephen White's Stonyridge Larose was hailed as the finest red New Zealand had produced — from an island the experts had dismissed as a waste of good vines. No group, no schedule, no guide — linger over lunch, replay anything, and the audio keeps working when the signal drops on the island's quiet eastern half. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are booked and paid directly with the wineries.
