This tour was an amazing experience. If you like to talk food and/or wine Aaron is your guy. He picked us up at the cruise port right on time. Drove us through Wellington and gave us info on the city as we drove by. The stop at the mountaintop was beautiful. All along the way Aaron spoke about wine and food. He is a chef and is very knowledgeable on the production and pairing of wine with food. The lunch we had at Poppies was an excellent variety of foods in a beautiful outdoor vineyard setting. A great way to spend the day in Martinborough/Wellington.

Hi Jeff
Thank you so much for such a generous review.
It was a pleasure to host you for the day, and I do hope that you return to Wellington again especially to stay in the Wairarapa.
Regards Aaron

Great tour of a number of smaller wineries. Aaron did a great job with the guiding and the bus was very comfortable. Food for lunch was really nice. We had a mix of ages (including elderly) and everyone had a good time

Hi Andrew

Kind Regards

Our guide was a mind of information about general NZ history as well as the Martinborough wine region. His selection of vineyards was varied and interesting. He was an extremely entertaining Bon vivant and a proud New Zealander. However, I was rather surprised that his patriotism didn’t extend to his charges being in NZ dollars.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Angeli
Thanks for feedback regarding your Martinborough wine tour.
I have painstakingly hand picked my organic Vineyards to form my tour day for you and extended the day by an additional 2 hours to give a chance to experience winemaking during the harvest.
You commented about the fantastic day so I’m disappointed that 4 vineyards with over 20 tastings with a gourmet lunch over 7 hours didn’t meet your expectations.
I’m very confused

Aaron hosted us and 3 other couples on a wonderful trip through the Martinborough region. In addition to learning about the history of the region on a picturesque drive, we visited 4 wineries (all uniquely different) and sampled a variety of varietals -- all of high quality and quite appealing. Our gourmet lunch was especially delicious and complemented the tastings very well. Aaron was knowledgeable, gracious and clearly enjoyed taking great care of his guests. We would highly recommend this excursion -- especially for those who are into wine and wish to visit a lessor known (and high quality) wine making region in NZ.

Hi Michael & Jane
It was a pleasure to host you from the cruise ship during the autumn harvest. It's a special time to be in Martinborough so I'm so pleased to be able to share the experience with Kosher tours and Travel.

Hi Craig
Thanks for coming on a culinary adventure with Kosher Tours and Travel.
I hope my maple bourbon recipe hits the spot and the harvest time in Martinborough revisits you with every new bottle of Pinot that you open.

Aaron took us on a wonderful tour of select wineries in Martinborough. He’s a great storyteller, happy to share his knowledge of the local history and culture. Lunch was delicious, and we were really pleased with the small, local, family-owned wineries he took us to. It was a great day out!

Hi David and Joannie
It was a pleasure to have you join our tour. The chemistry with our group was fantastic and it made my job easy especially with Shawn at Muirlea rise.
Please return

Aaron picked us up right at the side of the ship. Super nice guy. About an hour drive out to Martinborough. Wines were all interesting… we particularly enjoyed Poppy’s where we also had a really nice lunch experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
It was a pleasure to have you folks on board. Please return to Wellington soon.
