Great Day!! Great Guide!! - Simon was excellent. He was waiting for us, had excellent knowledge of Wellington and Martinborough. He knows the culture of the Māori and the nation. He lives in Wellington so when one winery was crowded, he took us to another. Great lunch recommendation and a lovely day!

A great winery tour experience - What a great experience this trip is as the tour host Simon is 1st class and very knowledgeable plus the wine tastings and lunch are both very enjoyable.
One of the best Viator tours we have done.

Great wine and food - Scott, our driver was very informative. He brought us to three different wineries. Our favorite was poppies. We had a great lunch there. And the three little boutique wineries have great tasting and refreshing wines. Martinborough is a very cute little town.

A great trip out of the city for wine lovers - We had the best day. We are only in Wellington for 3 nights from Australia so decided that we wanted to see some countryside and not just the city. We were not disappointed. Our driver, Steve, was fantastic and very informative. We visited 3 amazing wineries and had a quick lunch at a brewery. We thoroughly enjoyed it. A very reliable company to book through.

Absolutely Aweome!! - We had an amazing day!!
Everything went smoothly (including John’s driving), and the wineries were just gorgeous.
Our Driver John gave us lots of warning when it was time to move to the next place, kept us informed, he ensured everyone was safe and no man was left behind!
Thank you from the whole team!!
We will definitely be recommending Zozo travel to friends, family and other businesses for functions.

Not worth the money - John our tour guide was excellent , very kind and caring . The wine tour itself was limited
The first winery was ok with 5 tastings , would have been nicer with additional cheese added to compliment the wine
The second winery .. lunch ( optional ) was good but the guys doing the wine tasting was not interested in what ge was doing , he was just pouring the wine into the glasses and off
The last winery .. the owner wasn’t one bit interested , it felt like he didn’t want us there
All wine in each winery were not great .. unfortunately
