5.00The tour was planned perfectly timewise. We exited the ferry, Rob was waiting with the bus and we started the tasting tour of 3 exceptionally beautiful wineries. The lunch was in another beautiful spot and the food was delicious. Rob was engaging and informative. The day could not have been better!
Super fun experience!...

5.00I was a wonderful day! The island is beautiful and the wine was great! I would suggest not filling the bus so full because in the last big bench in the back has no A/C and no speaker to hear the guide while driving

4.00Wines were good! Wish there would have been chocolate or meat and cheeses @ the tastings. Gift shops @ wineries need to have a better selection

5.00All three wineries and one restaurant we visited were great places. The batch winery where I ate lunch in particular was indulgent with views that could be enjoyed as far away as Auckland. The blue sky that I looked up at as I lay on the cushion in the garden right after was awesome!
Spectacular

5.00Our tour guide, Tooroa, made the experience great. He remembered every single person‘s name on the bus and made the trip fun. He gave us lots of detail about local sites and personalities on the island. The 4 wineries visited were sufficiently different and all interesting in their own right - most with spectacular views. All easily accommodated a group such as ours and each host was friendly and knowledgeable about the wines we were tasting.
