Wine Tasting without Worries about getting back to Cruise Ship On Time - Opted for this wine tour versus booking the same excursion through the cruise company. Really enjoyed the three wineries we toured and the lunch platter was delicious. The tour operator made absolutely sure we were able to get back to the ship in time for departure. An overall lovely day wine tasting!

Relaxing scenic winery day trip - Very enjoyable relaxed day visiting three picturesque wineries - all produce good wines.
We were picked up on time by friendly driver Tania and returned to our ship at Lyttelton in
comfortable time. Very scenic drive to and from the winery area with Tania providing info that only a "local" knows about the region. Definitely Recommend this tour . Leisure Tours very good communication

Entertaining and informative. - Interesting trip. In the company of some hard core fans of the Lord of the Rings movies. Their passion was captivating but could not match it. Driver and guide was very entertaining and learned a lot from him about the trilogy of movies.

A worthwhile tour -interesting & fun - The winery’s we visited were lovely - however the first winery needs to address its customer service ( disorganised & not customer based) they were falling over small independent visitors & gave zero service to our small bus group ( unfortunately cost them business ) other wineries were far superior in service & very well organised . Our guide was excellent very very knowledgeable & interesting we enjoyed his overviews

The way to at least see the Waipara Valley - It was average but timely. Our driver was nice but was not a knowledgeable wine person - it would have been better to have someone who understood the terroir and grape varieties.
