5.00Tere has a beautiful warm personality. We hit it off with her from the start. Fantastic knowledge of wineries, art deco and Napier region in general. The wineries were varied and the tastings personalised. We bought at all 3 wineries. The grazing Platter at the last stop was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed sitting with her and chatting. One of the best guided tours in this country. We recommend her absolutely!!
