5.00We had an absolutely fantastic winery tour from Christchurch to Waipara with Jorge as our driver. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, relaxing, and incredibly enjoyable. Jorge was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole journey feel special. He shared interesting local insights along the way and ensured we were comfortable throughout the trip. The scenic drive itself was stunning, with beautiful countryside views that made the journey just as memorable as the destinations. The wineries we visited were excellent, offering a great selection of wines to taste. Each stop had its own charm, and the tastings were well-paced and enjoyable. The food was also a highlight—delicious, fresh, and perfectly paired with the wines.

5.00Beautiful scenery and a fantastic winery tour experience with Jorge. We visited 3 wineries and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Waipara Springs Winery. It was great tasting local wines while learning about the wine-making process, and we even had the chance to explore the vineyards on a field trip. The region is just about an hour’s drive from Christchurch, making it a perfect day trip. Highly recommended!
