5.00We made reservations at the last minute, and we are so thankful for that decision. This was the best day on our trip. Aaron was a knowledgeable and delightful host. He took us to delightful vineyards, gave us a lesson on local wines and the food was some of the best I have had. Aaron was also a professional chef.
Exceptional Day

5.00David was absolutely fabulous. This was carried out by Kosher Tours and David, our driver, was knowledgeable, friendly, easy to chat with and flexible. We could not have asked for a better day or driver. Tiwaiwaka winery with Morton was superb. And we loved lunch at Coney winery. We highly suggest this our for an intimate and personal wine tasting experience of Martinborough.
Perfect day
