If you have difficulties walking up hills or in sand you may want to reconsider or stay close to the bus when stopping at the beach.

Great way to spend an afternoon. Our guide, Mairi, (sorry if misspelled) was extremely knowledgeable and great telling us some history about the area and the wineries. Fantastic lunch at Sojan winery. Visited black sand beach and were able to see the Gannett colony. Definitely worth doing.

Michelle ran a great tour to the wineries, beach and provided at Soljan a great lunch. Full of information, friendly and great fun. For me one more winery might have been better than the beach. But I knew beach was part of the excursion so not a complain in any shape or form.
Decadent lunch and winery afternoon

Outstanding afternoon with three vineyard tastings and 4-5 vintages at each. Come hungry because lunch is the first stop and the portions are hefty and scrumptious. Add a little beach and bird nesting and it was a fabulous time with fun and gracious driver, Annie. A++
Great wine tour and great guide

The guide was fantastic, congenital, and funny. We had an amazing lunch and the wineries were interesting. We had a wide sampling of wines between the three places. The guide also took us to see a beautiful beach that he said was representative of New Zealand.
This was a fantastic day!...

This was a fantastic day! The pace is perfect, group size is nice and the wineries visited and lunch were all amazing. Learned a few things about wine making here and NZ in general. Our guide Tony was perfect. Thanks for a great experience!
