Bay Tours – ‘Explore the Plains’

Sip and Savor with Bay Tours: A Waimea Plains Wine Adventure

Looking for the perfect afternoon of wine tasting? Bay Tours takes you through four vineyards on the beautiful Waimea Plains, offering a relaxed and flavorful journey through the region’s best wines.

Taste Wine and Local Flavors

Throughout your tour experience, you’ll sample wines paired with delicious local fare. From October to April, your first stop at Stafford Lane includes a central platter featuring locally grown olive oil, olives, dukkah, and chutneys, perfect for dipping fresh bread. Then, from April to October, a central cheese platter takes its place instead. Either way, each pairing enhances the wine tasting experience.

Enjoy a Superb Lunch Stop

Every Bay Tours outing includes a fantastic lunch stop, where you can use your $5 discount voucher toward your meal. So, whether you’re craving a light bite or a full meal, you’ll find something to satisfy your appetite along the way.

Beer Lovers Welcome Too

If beer is more your style, simply request a brewery visit when booking your tour. This way, Bay Tour can tailor the experience to suit your taste, whether you’re a wine enthusiast or a craft beer fan.

Tour Details

Bay Tours departs daily at 12:30 pm and returns between 5:30 and 6:00 pm, though winter hours may vary slightly. Each tour lasts approximately five hours and includes either four vineyards, or three vineyards plus a brewery, depending on the day’s first booking.

So, whether you’re a wine connoisseur or simply looking for a fun, informative afternoon, Bay Tours delivers a memorable journey through the Waimea Plains’ finest flavors.
