Waiheke Island is a 40-minute ferry ride from Auckland and is the most populated island in the gulf. Most importantly, it is home to 30 boutique wineries in its only 92 square kilometers (36 sq. miles). It is actually nicknamed the “Island of Wine” due to the proliferation of wineries. Good for us!
