Lovely. Great experience with a small group. Driver (Alistair) was extremely knowledgeable and provided just the right amount of detail.

A really enjoyable day wine tasting. The lunch platter at Poppies was wonderful to look at as well as to eat and really might as well have been included in the price as there wasn't much else on offer (not that there needed to be). Would have been 5 stars if lunch price had been included in the price.

Athena was an excellent, informative guide. She shared winery and local information like a pro. She engaged everyone on the tour and was able to call us all by name.

Simon was absolutely knowledgeable and kind. He shared wonderful stories about the Māori traditions, the history of land formation in Wellington, and brought us to an extra cheese shop as he heard we all loved cheese. We were lucky to meet with wonderful ppl as well! Awesome (and very safe) trip!

Our guide, Gary, was punctual and had interesting history/facts about the area & wineries we toured. He also had good recommendations for restaurants in Wellington.

Simon, our driver and guide was very knowledgeable about the local area and New Zealand. Poppies, the first winery we visited provided the best tasting experience. Our sommelier was one of the vintners - very passionate and knowledgeable. The second winery was Moy Hall. The lunch was good, especially the gravlax. The tastings were poured during the lunch. This was less intimate. The third winery, Palliser, was a lovely location. The tasting experience was okay, but our sommelier was spread between too many groups - a hen party and generally busy Saturday. So this took away from the overall experience.

Great trip to 3 vineyards. The scenery on route was fantastic and our guide Simon ensured that the windy roads were navigated with care and consideration for us passengers. The lunch on offer was amazing and the wines good. Simon was very knowledgeable in everything wine and also the NZ history along the way. I would definitely recommend this trip!
