Second rate uncomfortable van with unknowledgeable driver
Maggie_R
, Oct 2021
This is not a wine tour- it is a trip a cheap van with dreadful uncomfortable seats that are not fit for purpose. Giles knows nothing about wine but thinks he does so his constant talking about something he knows nothing about becomes irritating - he likes low end wines so took us to low end vineyards with unmemorable wines- he seems to think tasting a lot a wine equals a good tour. There was no lunch included just a small plate of bad food out of a supermarket deli and very small portions of it as well. Unfortunately he ate with us so even the supposed lunch was him droning on. Don't waste your money
Response from Host , Dec 2021
Sorry Maggie - This review is very much at odds with other peoples experiences. We go to the best wineries in Waipara and they all have multiple award winning wines and have been carefully chosen for the quality of their products. . I have 40 years experience in the wine trade and have WSET qualifications - I'm sorry if you thought I droned on but the vast majority of my clients very much appreciate the depth and quality of my knowledge - as do the winery owners. The car I use currently is a 2018 Toyota Previa - it is not a van, however it is fully air conditioned and provides a smooth and quiet ride. I am very sorry that this tour didn't live up to your expectations.
A great day out.
