A good choice - Stephanie, our guide for the day, was fantastic. Formerly from a vineyard in the region, she is both experienced in the location and the art of wine making. She was on time and professional as well as a great source of information. Her driving was excellent. The van provided was comfortable and well maintained. The wineries offered a good variety of tasty wines and the lunch was delectable. Thoroughly enjoyed the day out.

Three vineyards wine tour. - Trip was led by local New Zealander Stephanie who brilliantly conveyed a wealth of relevant and interesting information whist conveying us out on the tour. The first wine tasting at Waipara Springs included an excellent lunch followed by two visits + tastings at two further vineyards. A most enjoyable way of spending a day and with a leisurely 12:00 meet time. Well worth booking!!!

Great afternoon (but wouldn't rave over it) - Had a good time, bit of a slow start though and felt a little disconnected in comparison to other tours we have done.

Good afternoon - The wineries were incredibly welcoming and great service. Our driver was pretty good as well but I do wish when it was noted we had extra time instead of stopping at a shopping centre we were able to see more of the area. It would have been nice to see more of the area. However that been said, it was a very good tour.
