    Had an amazing time on the beach and wine tour with our guide, John. The views and wine were fantastic, but the real surprise was his knowledge of microbiology! He explained fermentation and coastal ecosystems in a fun, fascinating way. A perfect mix of sun, science, and sauvignon.

  • Great day with John

    We had an excellent day with John. The wine tastings along with the beaches and rain forest visits were outstanding. John is so personable and he shared so much with us about local wines and the local area. It was like hanging out with an old friend for the day. We could not give a higher recommendation.

  • This tour is a must on your NZ to do list
