5.00A fantastic experience. Started the day at 930am and headed to the wine cave at Gibbston Valley for a tour in the wine Cave. This was followed by wine tasting in 3 more wine cellars including Akarua which has superb Pinot noir abd Pinot Gris. The gourmet lunch was exceptional and worth the extra money for the gourmet food tour. Taimi the tour guide was excellent, sharing her experience with us throughout the tour. By the end of the tour we tasted about 20 different wines , all very good quality. Thanks Taimi.

5.00A very well organised tour with quality wine tastings and vineyards. Presentations were given by knowledgeable staff and lunch was delicious in a casual and fun atmosphere. A good sized group of twelve in a minibus. The tour leader was excellent and provided lots of history about NZ and the wine regions. Big thanks to Ben! I would definitely recommend this tour company.
Great day also for solo travellers

5.00It was a wonderful day! The wine was excellent, the food was delicious, and the tour guide was simply fantastic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys tasting fine wines and trying dishes prepared in old wine barrels. Thanks to the small group size, the tour is also ideal for solo travelers—and the wine certainly helps, too ;)
What a wonderful day!

4.00All wineries offer tastings of their least expensive (of course) and that made them all more or less alike. The food was very nice, but we would have appreciated an oral presentation of the wines (that were really good!) and the setting was nice but a bit noisy. Very lovely driver and wwe enjoyed the occasional guiding. A stop at Roaring Meg would have been nice, very beautiful spot!
Absolutely fantastic...
