We went on this wine tasting tour. It was most disappointing 1st winery Marsden was good but lunch disappointing. The cruise ship had a Novo virus on board and eating from a shared plate with one set of utensils was unacceptable. Second stop was a hobby vineyard owned by an ex. American and he and an American man on the tour dominated the time on all sort of issues not related to wine (which was ordinary selection) Our driver should have cut the conversation short and got us to move on. The last vineyard did not give any commentary as to the wine tastings and our driver left us and came back 40 mins later. We were suppose to go to a Craft beer brewery... that didn't happen.

Excellent tour. Had a grreat time, visited some quite unique wineries. would highly recommend. Did this as a ship shore excursion and there were no hassles getting back to the ship on time

What a wonderful wine tour we had. We saw and tasted and purchased from 3 vineyards in the Paihia region. From largest to the boutique vineyards so informative and interesting we all enjoyed the day and we made good friends. We will definitely be back. Thanks Ken so much fun.

We had a fantastic time on the wine tour! Had some really good commentary on the way to the vineyards, a lovely platter. Then we went to the fat pig winery that was really nice to hear about the wines from the owner, we loved the white diamond wine! We also had to buy lemoncello at the next winery since it was so good!

We had a very personal trip with Bill our driver who gave us a lot of the local history. The first winery was changed to the Restaurant at the Stone Store with a great platter. Kanui wines tasted were good and then visited the Fat Pig. Enjoyed the wines especially the sticky. Finished at Sovrano Wines with a good selection of wines to choose with a bonus of Limoncello liqueur tastings. Overall a great experience.

Good tour, great wine and very helpful guide. Thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon in the beautiful bay of islands.

Very good tour, our driver was on time and shared lots of history as we drove between wineries, highly recommend taking the tour

I arrange a tour for a group of people, some of who do not drink wine / are hard to please.. lol Reports came back that they all had an amazing time and would do it again. A lot of laughter, even before consuming the wines. Easy to book, great communication. They even picked up from our hotel. High recommend

A group of 6 went on your wine tour. What a great time we had touring around the area and the three tastings. The shared platter combined with wine tasting was fantastic.

I had a lovely day discovering the Northland wines. The tour guides and transport were excellent and I can thoroughly recommend them.

This tour exceeded our expectations. Derek, our driver/host was friendly and informative. All three vineyards were exceptional in their own right and provided us with a great selection of wines and background information in a friendly and welcoming way. A truly enjoyable afternoon which we strongly recommend.

We had a great tour with Ken on our New Years break. Very accommodating and lovely air conditioned van. My favourite winery was the Fat Pig, lovely owners and delicious boutique wines.

Had the best time! 100% will be coming back for another tour. Ken was so friendly and helpful. Ake Ake was super generous with their tastings too.

Great wine and food options. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful tour guides. Would recommend this tour.

I must say we had the best time on this Wine tour, the Tour Guide was amazing and his knowledge of the area was fantastic, the place's he took us too were just as amazing I would recommend this tour for groups, work functions or family groups, ours was a work function and he made it the most amazing trip for us, Well done and thank you so much we had the most amazing time. If I have the chance I would do it again!!
