I've lived in Hawkes Bay for 27 years and recently took leave having been lucky enough to get a locum for six months. So what to do while enjoying the Hawkes Bay sunshine? Ross, owner and operator of "Vines and Views" had the answer for me. I can whole heartedly recommend this trip. I did the half day winery tour... More

What a great day visiting three wineries with a wine expert. Small group which made the day even better. Tasting the grapes off the vines was all a great experience and the inside knowledge from the person who planted the grapes just added to the experience.. Late afternoon wine and nibbles at an exclusive lookout with magnificent views just topped... More

We booked this tour with Ross before we left Australia and it was really easy. He did not require credit card details or payment before hand, not like some other tour operators. We were travelling on a cruise and arrived at the information centre, which is the meeting place, by the free shuttle bus from the port. He was very... More

We had a fantastic day with Ross. He was a great host. Took us to some great vineyards for wine tasting and all the key sights in the area. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer. We thoroughly recommend his half day winery tour.

Just got back from a cruise around Australia and NZ and we had booked this tour in advance. We were a litttle concerned and dispapointed that we had such a short visit in port and worried we could not fit this in ! We were pleasantly surprised. Ross met us as promised and we were off on a great wine... More
