Customer Reviews
Karen was our fantastic tour guide for our 1/2 day tour. Very relaxed and friendly group of 6 people. Karen is very knowledgeable about the area and focuses on the smaller family wineries which were all very unique. The wine tastings were very interactive with wine selections and Poppi at Forrest winery was great! Highly recommended!
What a great experience that was. Gavin picked us up and joined the tours. Lovely bloke with a great knowledge of local wines too. The 5 wineries were all different. Cloudy Bay being the least engaging and Hunters being the best wines for our palates. Small group of people which went down to 5 of us after lunch. Lunch at Saint Clair Kitchen was the platter and superb. Lovely Gris there as well. Overall a memorable experience. Thanks for the lovely day out.
Must visit attraction Don’t hesitate to take a tour for 5 wineries/day - it’s extremely comfortable tour with stops where you open new wine tastes without over drinking. During the tour we’ve visited different wine cellars and tried different 4 or 5 positions in every one. All tastings were surrounded by perfect setting and welcoming staff. The tour’s schedule was excellent: proper timing for every location and suitable time for lunch break (btw it was very tasty). The transfer car is very convenient, it suits up to 12 persons but in our tour we’re only 5 people. Our qualified tour guide and driver Phil made our experience perfectly comfortable.
