Martinborough Food and Wine Tour - a magical day! - We spent a wonderful day with Aaron, owner of Kosher Tours, and an ex chef, doing a Martinborough Wine and Food tour. Aaron picked us up from our hotel at 10am and we drove north from Wellington to Martinborough. Along the way he pointed out various locations or landmarks and had a wonderful knowledge of the history of Wellington. He also knows lots about the Lord of The Rings and showed us various locations used for filming the movies. Martinborough was a comfortable 1 and 1/4 hr drive north of Wellington. We visited three different wineries in Martinborough - each lovely and with their own unique style and we were lucky to share a magnificent lunch board/platter at the second one while doing a tasting with one of the owners and winemakers. Aaron was also very knowledgeable about Martinborough and shared with us it's history and development as largest of the three Wairarapa wine regions. If food and wine are your thing I would highly recommend booking a tour with Aaron. We had an amazing day!

Perfect Day - One of the best days ever— wonderful wine, fantastic food, and a gorgeous sun-filled day in New Zealand’s wine country! We loved visiting the smaller wineries, picked for the wine and also amazing food. This was one of the platters we shared on the tour and was delicious. Aaron was a wonderful host, extending our itinerary to visit the Lord of the Rings filming locations. He was knowledgeable and so pleasant to spend the day with! Thank you Aaron for terrific memories with friends.

Excellent wine trip to Martinsborough! - Aaron organized a great wine trip to 4 wineries, with a gourmet lunch at Coney Winery. Our driver Emile was very professional, with a great sense of humor. He also accommodated my LOTR obsession with a stop at Rivendell on the way. I highly recommend this tour!

Best wine tour we had in NZ - We had a wonderful time on Kosher’s “Martinborough wine tour with lunch”. Plenty of wines to try and our lunch was amazing - interesting and tasty. All of the wines we tasted were grown and produced in Martinborough area, known for its ideal Pinot Noir growing conditions. Each Pinot Noir was a little different than the other. We also had some excellent whites, Reisling, Rose, and red blends. Aaron gave us an interesting and informative history of wine growing in the area. We especially loved how Aaron personalized the trip to us, even fitting in an extra tasting and a stop at an amazing cheese shop.

Delightful wine day in Martinborough - My wife and I took this tour with Aaron last week and could not have asked for a better experience. Aaron is a fantastic tour guide, who gave us loads of information about New Zealand, LOTR filming, and of course, wine! The selection of wineries he took us to were clearly very thoughtfully selected and all had very tasty offerings. The standout for us was the lunch and wine at Poppies; the lunch platter they provide there was insane, and all of their wines were delicious (we bought one bottle there and plan to order several more to be shipped back home). Aaron also took us by a cheesery on the way back into town so that we could sample and buy some cheeses. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour, and really, any other tour that Aaron runs. My wife and I are huge LOTR fans, and after talking to him, we 100% would have also booked his LOTR tour if we had another day in Wellington!
