Number one would be our tour guide, Kirstey. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The entire tour was very relaxed and we were not pressed for time. The Wineries we visited and the Brewery were informative and we experienced excellent service at each one. As an aside - the van would be easily accessible for those who have difficulty stepping up into it if there was an extra step up. Our Tour Guide did explain that Safety & Health Regulations restricted the provision of an extra step up.

Visiting different...

Paul_W, Nov 2023

Visiting different vineyards, the driver knowledge of the areas we visited, meeting the people of the vineyards with their knowledge of how the wine msking process is done.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Paul_W, thank you for your great review. Yes, as you note, we discuss the areas we are attending, why those areas best suit their wine styles, and you get a seated tasting with experience winery staff, not the tour operator. You get firsthand, accurate information. Thank you again for taking the time to review. - John

Highly recommend this particular Tour

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hi Lana_s, Thank you for your fantastic review. As I wrote below, Kirsty is a fantastic guide and imparts her smile upon everyone. Our Wine, Beer and Art Deco shore excursion has always (approx. 20 years, unchanged) been one of our top sellers. Thank you again for taking the time to review our services.

A great day

Barbara_B, Dec 2022

Trinity Hill, platter, wines and staff. Also lovely ambience. Our tour driver was knowledgeable, fun and exuberant. We enjoyed the small group. The least favourite was the Red Rooster, staff mediocre, samples were too large. Otherwise a fantastic day

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Barbar, Thank you for your review. Yes, we pick what we consider a great bunch of stops on the day. You note there were lots of large beer samples.. Thank you

Birthday weekend was fabulous

Carol_C, Dec 2022

Tere our driver was great she was very friendly and full of knowledge. The tastings were great and really liked Church Road Winery

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Carol_C, Thank you for taking the time to review your tour. We are very proud of our selected wineries. Thanks again.

sipping at the local Napier wineries

B_B, Sep 2020

John our tour guide picked Bee and I up from our B&B and returned us after the tour . We visited several wineries and our last stop was to taste some local beers and ciders down at one of the Pub's on the broad walk. Each winery visited had its own charms and between wineries John's local knowledge of Napier was warmly received. We were lucky to be the only ones on this particular tour ,so we were a captured audience at every taste site. A fabulous day made better by having someone like John to educate us both on the history of each visited vineyard.

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Hi B_B: Thank you for taking the time to write a fantastic review of our Wine, Beer and Cider Tour. This is hugely popular for reasons you note. Thank you again and safe travels at this time. - John

Fabulous

Rhonda_J, Aug 2020

Well run, fun tour. Tere our tour guide was fantastic. Stopped at four places, three of which we had never been before. It was a gorgeous day in the Bay.

Response from Host, Aug 2020

Hi Rhonda_J: Thank you so much for your fantastic review. I am very pleased to know that the stops were unexpected and more to the point, great stops. Yes, we try very hard to present a cross-section of Hawkes Bay's Wineries and Beer producers. Tere, she is a bonus as you discovered. Thank you again for your review. - John
