5.00Sharp, smooth full-day tour with a fun and knowledgeable guide. Hit four excellent wineries — outstanding Pinot Noirs, crisp whites, generous tastings, and a top-notch paired lunch with stunning vineyard views. Perfect mix of wine, food, and scenery. Super memorable. Highly recommended. Book it. 🍷
Great guide, delicious wines, spectacular scenery!

5.00We had a fantastic wine tour with our guide Taimi, who was very friendly and provided us with detailed history of the Gibbston Valley and Cromwell/Bannockburn wine regions. We visited four wineries, and while they were all great, we especially enjoyed Waitiri Creek and Misha's Vineyard. Their selection of wines were great and we found them all to be delightful. The lunch platter was also delicious, but the rushed wine pairing alongside the lunch was less favourable. We found the other wineries offered us more details around the vineyards and each of the individual wines we tasted.
Awesome wine tour

5.00This was a great wine tour, door to door pick up and drop off, great driver Graham who shared lots of information while driving to locations. The lunch was excellent and as a Vegetarian I was given food I could eat. The wineries and wine were great and the tastings were very generous. Well worth every penny!

5.00Our guide Martin was very knowledgeable and a good driver. I learned a lot about the wine regions Gibbston, Bannockburn and Cromwell. We had some great tastings at Mt Rosa, Carrick, Misha's Vineyard and Kinross. The meal served at Carrick was delicious and the site was beautiful.
