is home to some of the smaller but most prestigious wine producers in New Zealand. It is particularly famous for the great red wines made on the island. Some of New Zealand's best red wines come from where the ideal growing conditions of hot dry summers and stony soils combine with the skills of experienced vintners to produce world acclaimed vintages. Many of the wines are produced in limited quantities and can only be bought on Waiheke or in selected restaurants around the world. Equally famous is the fine virgin olive oil produced on the island, again pressed in small quantities and quickly bought up by mail order and local users. Wine touring is now one of the island's major tourist attractions. The Waiheke Winegrowers' Association numbers will continue to rise as more vineyards are planted and come into production. Several of the vineyards are open to the public for sales, tasting or tours.
