Really enjoyed the day - Superb trip. Guide Roger and driver Nic were very informative, friendly and welcoming. We both really enjoyed the day. Each of the three wineries had their own story and individuality to their wines. We bought some from all three.

What an experience !!!!! - This has been a great experience, from the ordering and communication with Caitlin to the transport with Karen. We visited 2 vineyards in a fantastic weather. On both vineyards we tasted excellent wines. On the last vineyard we had a terrific lunch with one of the wines we had just tasted minutes ago. Both vineyards are placed in a wonderful landscape.

Waipara Region Wine Tour - We had a wonderful time with a small group of 10 !! The staff at the wineries was knowledgable of the products and served a nice variety of wines for tasting along with isharing nformation specific to the area about grapes and wine making. Lunch was delightful! The driver's discussion of the area and the scenery was awesome!

Two thumbs up! - Fun wine tasting tour to three wineries including a beautiful lunch. Our driver/tour director Alan was exceptional and made sure we got back to our cruise ship on time. Don’t hesitate to book with Cheeky they are the best!

Very Nice Day Trip - Very nice winery tour. Only negative comment I have is the van we rode in had abysmal leg room. It was barely tolerable for a 1 hour drive. Our guide Roger was fantastic!!! Great guy!

We waited at the meeting point for an hour. Results… - They didn't come by pickup time and waited for about an hour under the pouring cold sky. You're canceling. I sent him an email saying that I had already picked him up on time. The hotel receptionist said it was a pretty small company, so the tour didn’t seem to take place. I don't know yet if I'll get the money back I paid for, but booking a tour on Tripadvisor is no longer a stretch.

There must be better wines! - The first winery we visited was friendly and generous and we tasted some reasonable wines. The second winery where we had lunch was okay in terms of service. However, the wines we were offered as a tasting were not great and the lunch was a mismatched platter of foods that had been prepared much earlier in the day. The third winery provided very little attention - the hostess saying she was very busy. Overall, the worst wine tour experience I’ve had! Definitely not value for money!

Cheeky wine tour not so cheeky - Our first winery was just lovely George’s Rd and our table felt welcomed. The owner spoke about her winery plus the wine. The tastings were great and enough to taste the winery. 5/5. We then went to Waipara Winery. The owner told us about the winery but the tastings we so tiny. Off to lunch… old grapes, last nights pork chop with tons of fat, slice of cheese. What we noticed if you bought your own lunch was the Brie cheese, green fresh grapes. Our table went to taste some other wines (as the original tastings were tiny and pretty average). they brought back a nice bottle of Pinot that we never tasted. We paid a lot of money for this tour and we want to taste nice wine and started to feel we have been taken. The next winery and I don’t even know the name. Sat down and waited 10 min for service. No introduction. Nothing about the winery or wine. The lady says she was very busy with us and another table. Very rushed!! And now we felt very insignificant after the money we paid. I hope after they see this review the owners pick up their game!! So disappointed as we came to NZ especially for wine tasting.

Very unfavorable - This tour was canceled. I was not notified. I showed up to pickup point and was told by others at that point that the tour was canceled . I waited for 30 minutes and no tour guide arrived. Viator is refusing to reimburse me. Very disappointing. Very poor operation.
