5.00My wife and I enjoyed this tour! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable about the region, and easy to communicate with. The itinerary was well planned, all of the wineries had an area waiting for our group and everything was seamless on our end. Lunch was shared between 2 people. A pie, crackers/cheeses, dips, bread/olive oil. Good mix of red and white wines, mostly Pinot noirs because they are local to the region! The van was a sprinter type van, with a 2/1 seating configuration. At every winery, you had the opportunity to buy full bottles. And there was an option to sign up for a wine club to have NZ wines shipped to your home. We would recommend this tour!
