The Perfect Hens Day on Waiheke 2560x890

Celebrate in style with a curated day of indulgence.

Begin with a private brunch overlooking Oneroa Bay, then gather the girls for a creative paint-and-sip session. Settle into a long vineyard lunch, Poderi Crisci (weekends only) or Tantalus Estate (weekday option), before finishing with wine tasting and rooftop cocktails at Mudbrick, where views stretch across the Hauraki Gulf.

Important note: All activities should be booked well in advance, especially for larger groups, to ensure availability and a smooth flow to the day. We also strongly recommend booking a driver (Waiheke Wine Tours offers van and bus hire) for your group, so you can relax and enjoy the celebrations without worrying about transport between venues.

From Brunch to Sunset

Morning – Brunch & Bubbles

Kick off the celebrations with a private brunch at The Oyster Inn, a stylish Oneroa favourite with sweeping views and a menu made for toasting the bride-to-be.

Late Morning – Creative Fun

Gather the group for a paint-and-sip session, where you’ll unleash your inner artist, glass in hand, and create keepsakes to remember the day.

Afternoon – Long Lunch Among the Vines

Settle in for a luxurious long lunch: choose Poderi Crisci for a rustic Italian feast (weekends only, 12–4pm), or Tantalus Estate during the week for refined dishes and vineyard views.

Evening – Wine & Cocktails at Mudbrick

Round off the day at Mudbrick Vineyard with a wine tasting followed by cocktails on the rooftop bar. With panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf, it’s the perfect golden-hour finale to a celebration of food, fun, and friendship.
