We had a wonderful wine tasting experience with steve and Jenny! They are extremely friendly and informative. They picked us up from our accomodation and we visited three fantasitic vineyards: Cable Bay, Kennedy Point and Obsidian. They know these places well so they provided us a lot of insights about the culture, history,tradition etc. Jenny also gave us some recommendations... More

Hey these guys were awesome - we had a tailor-made experience which took us to some of the harder to reach or not so popular wineries which was a real treat given that any other day you can visit the standard cellar doors if you please (if you're Auckland based). The driver 'Nigel' was a great island historian full of... More

Paul, our guide, was interesting and funny, and we visited some lovely and interesting wineries. We had at lunch at Te Whau (pronounced Te Fau) which was the best meal we had in New Zealand with spectacular views. Kennedy point was a nice estate and the wine there was delicious too. More

Was booked on the Gourmet Wine and Food Tour but did not get any food. When I asked the tour guide about it, he sounded surprised and tried to talk his way out of it. Only after not being able to describe what the company offers on Gourmet Wine and Food tours did he realise that he should quit bluffing... More

an excellent day out visiting 3 vineyards, sampling the wine along the way, with someone else driving. a good selection of very varied vineyards, nice to meet the owners in some cases and take a glass of wine up the hill for a view. Thoroughly recommend. Had lunch at Mudbrick ( additional cost), not cheap but very good. More

We booked a wine tasting tour at short notice from the tour desk at the Ferry Terminal in Auckland. We got a personalized afternoon tour of three good wineries with a good lunch at the third. We saw the Fuller's Tours come and go in 20 to 40 seater buses while we enjoyed wineries suiting our timing with our guide.... More

We love this island and the wine tour company. It was easy to book, the tourguide was very nice and accomadating especially when we ran over the alloted time for the day. The wineries he took us too were so great. I can't wait to go back and stay for a few days and book them again to take us... More
