just 5 people in two groups on the tour. Our first vineyard host was french and whilst knowledgeable she simply chatted and made everything interesting and also fun. Transport around the vineyards was comfortable and included a bit of information about the area and other vineyards we passed on our tour. Lunch was excellent and at that stage everyone assumed we were one group we were getting on so well. At the last tasting we added a platter of cold meats and stayed a little past our scheduled time to play a little game of petanque. The driver very kindly labelled and stored all of our purchases and we just enjoyed the whole thing. Very good tour, very thoughtful driver and great wines. Oh, and good fellow tour friends.

Great day out with a lovely group of people. Amazing wineries with spectacular views all around you. Our tour guide Martin was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for him. On the way to the wineries Martin tells you about the history so time goes by very quickly.

Great drive, plenty of local knowledge. Wonderful way to spend a day. Our host provided plenty of local knowledge, not just about the winery’s but also the local area.

John was an amazing guide and host! He was very knowledgable on the wine and area. He went out of his way to show us the beautiful surroundings, he was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. The wineries, food, and wine were all excellent. Highly recommend this tour!

Al was an excellent tour guide. He managed the time well and was knowledgeable about the wines, which was a bonus. Please let him know that subsequent to our discussion, I was able to locate a Central Otago winemaker that produced Gruner Veltliner wines - Mount Edward; I recommend it. The wineries selected and wines sampled were perfect in that not only did they include a range of varietal expressions, but what Brennan winery was experimenting with was a delight to sample. The lunch and pinot noir at Carrick was a highlight. Loved also the ginger wine liqueur at Scott Base.
