This day tour was... - This day tour was absolutely amazing! Not only did we visit some unique wineries (both big and small), but there was a stopover for a delicious lunch with a very knowledgeable local winemaker, and we also got some great tidbits of info along the way from a very bubbly and cheerful Michelle. Overall, it was a great experience and certainly well worth it!

Best wine tour! - Fabulous! From making the booking to the day of the tour, Michelle was easy to contact and communication was easy. The tour was amazing....great wineries, lovely wines, no rushing, beautiful scenery. Michelle is the lovliest person....you feel like you are out for a fun day with a friend who happens to be the designated driver. Michelle is full of information and obviously loves the area and the wines. Do this tour!!

This is a excellent tour and is the best way to visit some of the fabulous wineries of central Otago. - Michelle is a great guide, very knowledgeable about the area. She is on time and is great at keeping in touch about pick up etc. we would definitely recommend this tour. One of our favourite experiences in NZ. (She is also an expert with a refractometer 🤣) We had a great small group and the wineries we visited were a really great showcase of the area.

Exceptional Tour & Tastings - Michelle was an informative and accommodating tour guide. Her enthusiasm for Central Otago wines, winemakers, and the history of the region was evident and we truly enjoyed learning and tasting exceptional wines, even bought a few bottles to bring home! Highly recommend booking with Living the Dream tours if you are visiting Wanaka!

A great tour with a lovely guide - Michelle is awesome - she has great knowledge of local wine and history and tells it really fun. She’s awesome company for a day like this, suits her personality like a glove. We tried a lot of great wines throughout the day and had a lot of laughs. We really enjoyed the whole day out. With Michelle we would do it again tomorrow!

Much more than wine tasting - We had a wonderful time on this tour. Michelle our host was so friendly and attentive to all our needs and gave us a very memorable day. We would strongly recommend going on a small group tour for this activity. We went to five different wineries and the day flew by. We tasted about five different wines at each vinery all of which were high quality and enjoyed a great lunch platter which complemented the wine perfectly. We had very personal service and were even served by the winegrowers themselves who welcomed us into their home. We came away with a greater appreciation of the hard work and passion of the wine growers. Michelle also gave us an amazing, personalised tour of the area with lots of tips on how to make the most of our time in this wonderful region.

Living the pinot dream - I had a great experience on the Central Otago wine tour with Living the Dream Tour. The tour guide, Michelle, was flexible and accommodating to my wine tastes and interests. For instance, she secured a spot for me for the tour and wine tasting at Felton Road Wines due to a last-minute cancellation. Michelle has extensive knowledge of wine and Wanaka. If you are staying in Wanaka, I highly recommend you book this wine tour.
