Wine and art on Waiheke

Visit Waiheke Island's artists at their studios, see them creating and even take home an artwork for less-than-gallery prices.

The Studio Insider Art Tour will take two or more people to meet the island's best-known creative personalities, visiting up to five different studios. Visitors select their favourite medium - ranging from watercolour and sculpture to ceramics or pottery - then a tour is designed to suit.

The tour takes four hours and costs $55 a person. If visitors prefer, the trip can be styled to visit vineyards on the island.

Available any day, you will be picked up from your island accommodation or the ferry.
