5.00The wine tour was incredible. Our tour guide Caleb was very knowledgable about the area and each vineyard, and was perfect for getting us from place to place. The full tour was well timed and we managed to fit everything in we needed to, and it never felt like we rushed. And we were back down to make the 4pm ferry to Auckland. The staff at all 3 vineyards were also very pleasant and knowledgeable, and the wine was amazing. Highly recommend this tour.
I highly recommend this...

5.00This tour is great, made even better by Nooroan the guide he was amazing and made the day perfect. Beautiful views from the vineyards and lovely wines. Just be aware that you have to get yourself to the island , we came over on the ferry and it was $48 each return. Top tip… if your tour is at 10.40am on the island, get the 9am ferry from Auckland but make sure your there by 8.20am as the ques for the ferry are massive and you may not get on it otherwise.
Lovely day.

5.00Debbie was wonderful. The island is beautiful. The wineries were educational and relaxing. Beware of tasting the $1000 bottle of wine at the last stop. We paid $20 for a sip that wasn't as good as the other wines. The sommelier acted as if it would be complimentary when offering it, but it wasn't.
High standard winery visit
