  The Vineyards, Honey and Black Sand Beaches tour we did with John was one of the best things we did on our trip to Auckland. The tour length was just right, and all the stops were interesting and enjoyable. Our lunch was lovely, as well. Not only was John very knowledgeable about Auckland and the surrounding areas, he is truly an expert on all things wine. (And an all around interesting person.) I have done many wine tastings and winery tours in the US and internationally, but never one this interesting and informative. In addition to the wineries and our lunch, we also enjoyed the gorgeous Muriwai cliffs and beaches. We were also able to see - and hear - the gannets in their breeding colony on the cliffs. You can’t go wrong with his tour. Thank you John!

We had lovely food, all the cellar door staff were friendly and helpful! The black sand beach was beautiful in a desolate way! Recommend this tour!

  John is extremely knowledgeable about the production of wine. He has a personal relationships with wineries which allowed us exclusive access to a winery’s behind the scene production. You’ll come away with a new appreciation for how wine is produced. We had lunch at a beautiful winery, the food, and wine were very good. The staff were very friendly and courteous.We saw a wide range of beautiful country during the tour. John’s knowledge of the area was very informative. Be prepared to sample a lot of good New Zealand wine! This was the best tour during our two week cruise.

  Our guide John was so knowledgeable, not only did we get to taste wine but we also got an education on the complex processes. So interesting and exciting to see the internal details of the winery. Thank you John for making the day special.

  John is an exceptional guide for this experience. He possesses extensive knowledge of the city and wine, and he effectively communicated the estimated times for both his arrival and the return from the tour. We visited three different wineries, each of which exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend booking this tour, as it is sure to impress.

  We’ve done wine tours all over the world, but this one was absolutely the best because our guide John knew everything about wine making he was terrific . he took us to the Gannet bird colony at Muriwai Beach which was loaded with gannets and their young. He even stopped at a fruit stand to get us cherries. Then he explained everything about the New Zealand honey called. Manuka, John made this Tour very interesting from the start to the finish. Terrific guide.
