Nice Sampling of NZ Wineries - We had a small group and stopped at a few wineries including lunch at the first one. We sampled a variety of different wines and the experience was enjoyable. The wineries were not especially big, but the wines were good and some of the owners explained the wine making at their wineries.

Great day out. - Great day with our driver Carl. The wineries for the tour were excellent and each unique in their own way. Lunch was very good appreciated the warmer above the covered table.

One of the best tours ever! Don’t miss it! - Our tour guide, Andrew, knew the best routes and wineries. Plus, lunch was excellent! Such a great experience, one of the best tours we have taken. Great pace between stops.

Charming experience - Visited charming family owned vineries. Their stories were interesting. The wine tastings had exceptional choices and descriptions of the different varietals. Lunch was also very nice. I would highly recommend!

Great after a slow start - The pre pick up was terrible. At booking it was a 11.30 start. At confirmation it was 10.30. One day before atext said 10.30 so we took a screen shot. On the day we were there at 10.00 and waited 90 minutes on the side of the road .Too much for 80 and 70 year olds Some were aware of 11.30 and some not. Poor.
The trip itself was fantastic. The 3 wineries were so hospitable and generous. Lunch was great and the tastinds were plentuful and many to our liking.Certainly did not disappoint once we got going. Wortg doing

Great wine tasting - Andrew was our guide and driver. Did a great job. My only comment was the tour was for 5 hours - we arrived into town earlier so we started at 830 instead of 1030 we did get back at 345 in time to catch the last shuttle at 4.

Good tour - first winery was great, and beautiful country side and tour guide was awesome. They could have skipped the last winery.
