Qualmark Accredited Cromwell Classic Car Wine Tours is unique among Central Otago wine-tasting tours. This is no whirlwind mini bus tour crammed with strangers but two to four friends, family, or associates traveling in a Classic Mercedes 300SE. The Cromwell Basin has a remarkable story largely untold, overshadowed on most wine bottles by two words-Central Otago. The fact is the Cromwell Basin has by far Central Otago's largest concentration of vineyards and wineries. Over 40 at last count. World-recognized Pinot Noir as well as excellent Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon plus many more. All are produced from vines growing in the schist soils of the Cromwell Basin

5.00We had an amazing day exploring the wineries in Central Otago with Bob as part of our honeymoon. His company, hospitality and local knowledge were all amazing. He curates a unique itinerary and utilizes his excellent relationships with local wineries. We cannot recommend him more highly.
Stunning tour and day with Bob!

5.00We absolutely loved our day and tour with Bob. He was welcomed warmly to every vineyard we visited so his reputation is clearly a great one. He was friendly and picked fantastic wineries! I would highly recommend his tour. We hope to treat Bob to a glass (or bottle) of wine when we make the move to NZ!! Fingers crossed it’s soon!

5.00We had a great trip with Bob in his classic blue Mercedes. A great story teller & some excellent wine tastings. The four of us enjoyed a unique experience. We are wine savvy and felt Bob was able to reflect this in the chosen vineyards we visited. Lots of laughs and a great relaxed feel. Highly recommended. Thanks Bob from Lisa, Chris, Michelle and David

5.00This day we will never forget! and would do again in a heartbeat. As part of our Honeymoon, we had the most amazing day with Bob, his passion for the region, its Wines and his fabulous Mercedes made this NO ordinary Wine Tour! we were not just taken to the well-known Vineyards instead, we were treated to some wonderful boutique Vineyards where we experienced not only the tastings but met the Wine Makers themselves and it was fascinating hearing their own individual stories, it gave us a whole new appreciation and education of the entire process. My husband was a Whiskey only man prior to this and now has been converted! Cannot wait until the next time, thanks again Bob.
A great day

5.00We had a great day with Bob and his marvelous car. We have learned a lot from Bob about this beautiful region. The vineyards we have visited for the wine tasting were great choices and we enjoyed a very nice lunch. Bob was also very helpful to organize the ground transportation for our dinner as I have drunken too much wine tour drive afterwards myself.
