An excellent tour! - This was a brilliant tour. There was only 6 people which helped too. The four vineyards were all different experiences. Some more engaging than others. Cheese and crackers were provided too. The bus driver was good but it was the visits that were excellent. Well worth the money too.

Excellent Wine Experience - Excellent way to visit various wineries. Suk, our driver and guide, was very informative and asked for feedback about the various wineries visited ,so that she could ensure the best experience for future guests. We were very pleased with the whole day! The wineries and wines were exceptional.

Excellent wine tasting in Hawke's Bay! - We had a wonderful time wine tasting with Kirsty and would definitely recommend the tour. The group size was just right (8 people) and the wineries she selected were very good; we purchased bottles to take home from several. Kirsty was super sweet and provided interesting details about the Hawke's Bay / Napier area while we drove to the vineyards.

Very enjoyable wine tour - A very enjoyable tour of the Hawkes Bay wine growing region. Souk (sorry, I've probably spelt her name wrong!) looked after us very well and all the wineries were interesting - the wines ranged from delicious to challenging and occasionally divided opinions in the small group - but it was fascinating to try so many variations of new world wine.

Excellent tour with John - We booked a small group Hawkes Bay Scenic Wine Experience, and with John as our guide it was an excellent experience! Unbeknownst to us it was Labour Day weekend in New Zealand. That meant some wineries were closed. We visited Brookfields (excellent) & Mission Hill (beautiful facility). We had wonderful tastings at both! We also stopped at Good George for craft beer & cider tasting, as well as The Gin Trap for flights of very unusual gin (Imagination Rhubarb & Raspberry…yum!). All through our tour John provided lots of interesting insights about the area. John is a wonderful guide and made our experience very special.

Fabulous afternoon tour - John was simply amazing and obviously had a passion for wine and his home area. Due to Labour Day & early season some of the wineries were closed but that did not stop the enjoyment and we exchanged one for a brewery after all we were on a food & drink tour of New Zealand. We bought from 2 of the 3 wineries, always ensuring it was something we couldn’t buy in the UK. John’s knowledge of the local area ensured we also received a history lesson which made the tour so much more interesting and the Napier art deco is simply stunning. John we thoroughly enjoyed your company and good luck for the future!

Napier Wine Experience - Group size of 6 was perfect, giving the participants a friendly and intimate social setting. The visit to 4 different vineyards of different size and style was a good intro to the region's wine scene. Owners were very generous with the wine portions and the local cheeses were excellent.

Wine tour Hawke’s Bay - Despite our pick up from our accommodation being quite late we still had a good day visiting 4 wineries. I can’t recommend Brookfield as the woman managing the cellar was preoccupied with other travellers and basically left us to ourselves to try the various bottles of wine plonked on the table. We did very much enjoy the other 3 wineries especially Pask and Old Church (good cheese platter included too) where at both these wineries the sommeliers were friendly and knowledgeable. Mission winery also worthwhile especially to learn about how it was transported in sections to its “new” location. Our tour guide Sukh was lovely and was able to provide a lot of history and information regarding Hawke’s Bay area. Thanks for a good day out.

Fun group and good experience - Meeting the others on the group. It was a lovely group. The Pask winery presenter was passionate and informative. The wines were very nice. The first winery was very rushed.
