Excellent wine trip to Martinsborough! - Aaron organized a great wine trip to 4 wineries, with a gourmet lunch at Coney Winery. Our driver Emile was very professional, with a great sense of humor. He also accommodated my LOTR obsession with a stop at Rivendell on the way. I highly recommend this tour!

Best wine tour we had in NZ - We had a wonderful time on Kosher’s “Martinborough wine tour with lunch”. Plenty of wines to try and our lunch was amazing - interesting and tasty. All of the wines we tasted were grown and produced in Martinborough area, known for its ideal Pinot Noir growing conditions. Each Pinot Noir was a little different than the other. We also had some excellent whites, Reisling, Rose, and red blends. Aaron gave us an interesting and informative history of wine growing in the area. We especially loved how Aaron personalized the trip to us, even fitting in an extra tasting and a stop at an amazing cheese shop.

Delightful wine day in Martinborough - My wife and I took this tour with Aaron last week and could not have asked for a better experience. Aaron is a fantastic tour guide, who gave us loads of information about New Zealand, LOTR filming, and of course, wine! The selection of wineries he took us to were clearly very thoughtfully selected and all had very tasty offerings. The standout for us was the lunch and wine at Poppies; the lunch platter they provide there was insane, and all of their wines were delicious (we bought one bottle there and plan to order several more to be shipped back home). Aaron also took us by a cheesery on the way back into town so that we could sample and buy some cheeses. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour, and really, any other tour that Aaron runs. My wife and I are huge LOTR fans, and after talking to him, we 100% would have also booked his LOTR tour if we had another day in Wellington!

Fantastic Tour Guide and Itinerary - The tour that my colleagues and I went on was fantastic to say the least. We were picked up from one of our colleagues houses by our tour guide Aaron. The van was spacious and could seat 10. Delicious wine was provided along with wine glasses for the ride from the hutt valley to Martinborough. Very comfortable for the hot Martinborough roads in the summer time with air con between stops. Our tour guide was very knowledgable about the history of Martinborough and the wines. Fantastic Selection of Cheeses, cured meats, pickled vegetables and more at our first stop. Coneys provide a fantastic lunch a beautiful selection of banqueting boards that satisfied everyone was included in the pricing. The runholder was a highlight with gin and wine tastings with spectacular views on the premises. Bathrooms available at every stop, important when drinking wine in between stops. We also had a stop at the Martinborough gelato stop where we could relax. Overall a 10 out of 10, would recommend and would do this experience again with a group of friends or drinking age family.

Simply Devine Time in Martinborough - Right from the onset of the trip we knew we were in for something special with Aaron. His knowledge and stories of the area on the way from Wellington from Martinborough was a fascinating mix of local history, of course Lord of the Rings tidbits, and a mix of his own family's journey in the region. The array of different wineries and wines was simply amazing, in particular the Merlot from Piwakawaka and the Pinot Selection from Luna, and the lunch from 3 Little Words at Coneys winery was beyond exceptional. Then to top it off with the Devine Monkey Blue Cheese on the way home, maybe we shouldn't have, but so glad we did. Definitely a tour and time to remember with an amazing host.

Well done Aaron! - Aaron provided such a fantastic tour! The tour reached the summit of Remutaka Crossing and the weather was foggy so that meant we didn’t stop at the overlook but it also meant we were early arriving in Martinborough so Aaron added an additional Vineyard to the itinerary. All together we visited 5 vineyards including ATA Rangi, Schubert, Hawthronthwait, Poppies (including a great assorted meat/cheese platter for lunch), and Luna Estate. Aaron introduced us to a large variety of great Wairarapa wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Rose, and Pinot Noir which the region is known for. He specifically pointed out his favorites at each vineyard and ensured we enjoyed the best each vineyard had to offer. He also introduced us to some varieties we had never explored including a couple of great Gewurztraminer and dessert wines. The food at Poppies was outstanding. On the return trip back to Wellington we stopped at a Formaggio shop to pick up some Blue Monkey cheese that was also very good. With the weather cleared we were able to stop at the summit of the crossing for photos as well. Overall I would highly encourage others to go on this tour. The personalized attention Aaron provided made the tour well worth the money!

Wine tour - This was one of the best trips we have taken. Our tour guide Aaron made all the difference. He was amazing. He picked our wine stops, lunch, and even added on. It was unreal. Could not give him a better review
