Multi Award Winning Wine Tours

Don't just take our word for it! Our reviews speak for themselves...
  • "Incredible Bespoke Wine Tour with an amazing guide"

    "We had the most wonderful day on our custom wine tour and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide Paul! As a true local, he brought the region to life with his knowledge of its history and wine culture. He had lots of entertaining stories and tidbits about the region that really made the experience feel special and personal.

    We had an amazing lunch at Mt Difficulty with a fantastic selection of wines (probably our favourite) and breathtaking views. Peregrine, Te Kano, and Amisfield were just as memorable with each offering beautiful settings and generous tastings."

  • "Best wine tour ever"

    "Highly recommend!! I couldn't recommend this tour more. Kate was lovely and amazing and so was everyone at all the wineries. The food was amazing and everyone on our tour was lovely. I have been to 4 wine tours before and this was by far the best"

  • "Delightful. Food + wine + cheese + good company!"

    "Highly recommend. Small group of 12 with good vibes and good company. Was a well paced day considering 4 wineries with multiple tasting at each. Lunch was a spectacular affair with 5 delicious dishes and paired wine with each. Would do again"
