Highlife New Years Eve is a boutique NYE festival held at a picturesque vineyard on a beautiful island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. Highlife NYE Returns for 2026! Join us this New Year’s Eve at the stunning Wild Estate Vineyard, nestled in the heart of Waiheke Island’s picturesque Onetangi Valley. This year’s celebration unfolds across Wild’s architecturally designed venue, sprawling vineyards, and lush green grounds, transforming the entire property into a spectacular NYE festival destination.
