The guide was knowledgeable very well informed Greg are driver was very considerate and very recommend using him again

Great tour

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a great day full of laughter, good food, outstanding company, and excellent wines. The tour guide John was fab and his sense of humour was worthy of a standup slot at a comedy club. Three of the 4 vineyards served good to great wines, the only disappointment was Akamau which we found these wines not to our liking. Overall this is a great tour and would highly recommend.

Amazing day

Published on Feb, 2025

Great great day! Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and most helpful throughout the day. Wines were good, but the lunch feast was amazing

Excellent Central Otago private wine tour

Published on Feb, 2025

We did a private tour, and it was fabulous. We visited a variety of wineries, including one that we had requested and they were able to accommodate. John, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
