Awesome Vineyards and Day out - This tour was awesome! We were picked up near our motel, and our driver was so much fun. The vineyards were beautiful, and we spent the right time at each of them. Was wonderful to have this experience, and met some great people in our group.

An excellent taste in the mouth - The 3 wineries visited were quite different from each other but located close together so travel was much reduced, allowing much more time to taste at each winery. The offerings were good to excellent, with no “dogs.” The hosts and our driver/guide Samantha (a former grower) were excellent, knew their stuff and answered all our questions, so we learned a lot. Highly recommended.

Great Half Day Wine Tour - Outstanding tour, highly recommend. First two wineries were not great but Pegasus Bay made up for the others. Our tour guide was a wine professional who provided great insight into the Waipara region.

Wine tasting in Waipara - Our guide was very knowledgeable about the countryside on our way to the wine region. She gave us detailed information about the history of the land we traveled through. The selection of the wineries was well chosen.

A relaxing outing - The driver, Alan, made the excursion fun. The lunch could have been better. The Georges Road Winery location is absolutely stunning. That view was worth the trip. Only six people on the tour which made it easy to chat with everyone. The van was clean and comfortable. The goal was to see the area and this tour was a great opportunity. The wine tastings were a side benefit.
