This tour was awesome! Our guide John was great - he knew a lot about the area and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves! The wineries were all lovely, and we enjoyed the tastings. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the wine making process. The brewery was a nice end to the day. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Napier!

Outstanding tour! Spent a half day touring different wineries around the Hawkes Bay region. We went to 3 different wineries and 1 brewery for craft beer/cider. Every stop we made was great and the wine was excellent. The beer we sampled along with the cider was out of this world, I have never had such tasty cider in my life! It was an enjoyable day touring and learning about the history of the wineries and the region. John our tour guide was great, very nice and a joy to spend the afternoon with, he was insightful and knowledgeable of the wine and region. He provided much more info than just wine and made the day even more enjoyable. It always nice to sit with someone and hear the history of a location, yesterday my wife and I had the best of both worlds, we were able to learn the history of the region and enjoy it with some very nice wine tastings! Highly recommend!

Hi Harry_c. Thank you for taking your time to write a fantastic review. Yes, while I do not advertise this, I like to consider that my clients depart with the full Napier experience, not just the wines. As we discussed, the timeline (history) of Napier mingles in and out of the history of the Wine here in this location. My thoughts, "why wouldn't I cover both" ? This is always very well received. Thank you again. John
Vera_H, Apr 2022
Great tour, John was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to find us tastings even when some of the usual vineyards were closed. Ended with a flight of beer
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Hi Vera_H: Thank you for your fantastic review. It is always great to receive these reviews. Yes, as I mentioned, out of 14 wineries, 3 were suitable for you. And finally, yes, what a way to finish a great tour, sitting with harbour views, drinking a selection of beers in the sun. Thank you again.

The host was extremely knowledgable of Napier and a genuine delight to be in the company of. The tour was well organised and the wineries/breweries very welcoming. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Oct 2020

We all thoroughly enjoyed our half day wine tour with John. He was very professional and provided great history on Napier that made the driving between wineries very enjoyable. The wineries we visited were beautiful and the tasting's were very informative and well selected. Only suggestion would be to factor in a stop to eat, we were very fortunate to be on this trip as a group and John happily adjusted our tour to accommodate us which we were very grateful. We will definitely be back to do this tour again and have friends planning their next trips with this tour too!!

What a great tour, John was such an excellent host his knowledge of Napier was brilliant and very interesting.
We visited 3 wineries and finished off at a brewery where we were treated to 3 glasses from their beer and cider range.
The tour was very relaxing and we never felt rushed at any point, even when we might have spent a bit longer then expected at one winery.Thanks again John for a lovely day out in Napier.

John was very knowledgeable and tour was very enjoyable

Even though we had a wet day,it was certainly brightened by Margie with her passionate commentary and good humour. The wine tasting and beer tasting was very generous and most enjoyable. If you are ever in Napier, this company is the one to use.
