About Your Host
Geoff Rau
Hi, my name is Geoff Rau and I am the sole owner and your tour host. I am a born and bred Kiwi, and a Waiheke Island, Auckland resident having lived here since early 1998.
I have a 2019 Mercedes Benz V250D Night Edition van which can accommodate up to six passengers in a little bit of luxury.
While I have many interests in sport, and have previously worked in international business, my real passion is wine and I have followed the development of New Zealand wine since the early 1980s. I have participated in a large number of formal and informal wine tastings over that time, including many on Waiheke Island wine tours, giving me the knowledge to be able to offer independent guidance as to which wines to try, both locally and throughout New Zealand.

Why Us?
Hi. Thanks for taking the time to look at the Waiheke Custom Wine Tours website.
I know that you have plenty of choices for Waiheke wine tours so I thought that I should add a bit more information about what I am offering. When you book with Waiheke Custom Wine Tours you are dealing with me (Geoff) and I am the owner and also your tour guide. There is a reason I am specialising in private wine tours and it's because I am passionate about wine, and also about Waiheke Island, and I absolutely love sharing our beautiful island with my customers. But don’t worry, if you don’t share that same wine passion that’s OK, I won’t bore you with too much wine talk and instead focus on the island, it’s history, culture and what it’s like living here.
Either way when you book a Waiheke Island wine tour with me, before you even get here I will take some time to find out what sort of wines you like, the cellar door experiences you prefer, and any specific sightseeing you would like to do. We can easily add olive oil tasting and of course we have many excellent vineyard restaurants and I am happy to make recommendations and then book on your behalf.
For any of my Private wine tours the start and finish times are fully flexible. When we meet you will receive a personalised itinerary and all of the wine tastings will be either Premium and/or Private providing the particular cellar door offers these as options. Please note that in order to reduce plastic waste I no longer provide bottles of mineral water. However good Waiheke water is available at most places we visit.
Anyway, take a look through the website and if you have any questions please use the Contact form or phone or email me directly.
