5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Waipara Valley winery tour was absolutely spectacular! From start to finish it was very well organised, and the scenery was breathtaking. Each vineyard we visited offered excellent wine tastings, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of local insights and stories. I especially appreciated how relaxed the pace was — we got plenty of time to savour each wine, enjoy the views, and take photos. The mix of boutique wineries, scenic landscapes, and personal touches made it a truly memorable day. Highly recommend this tour to anyone in the Christchurch/Canterbury region — a perfect outing for wine lovers, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a special day out.

5.00This tour was everything I hoped for and more. Waipara Valley is absolutely stunning — rolling vineyards, crisp air, and sunshine made for a beautiful day. We visited four boutique wineries, each with its own charm. The tastings were generous, and the staff at each stop were super passionate and knowledgeable (and patient with all our questions!). The Pinot Noir and Riesling were standouts. Our guide, Sarah, was lovely — kept things relaxed but well-organized, and even threw in some local history during the drive. Definitely a must-do for wine lovers visiting the South Island!
