Overview
An hour or so north of Wellington, Martinborough is fast making a name for itself as one of the Southern Hemisphere’s leading wine regions. Each weekend, Wellingtonians make the trek over the Remutakas to escape to this European-style wine village. This small group tour is a convenient way to visit Martinborough. There’s no need to stress about driving on country backroads, and no need to plan the day’s itinerary - leaving you to focus on the wine and the iconic scenery.
- Get to know local vinters with a cellar door tasting or a sit down experience
- Your guide knows which wineries are worth the visit and when their cellar doors are open
- Even if you spit during your wine tastings, it’s safest not to drink and drive
- Don’t stress about logistics: your guide takes care of all cellar door and wine tasting fees

Really good half day wine tasting session. Philip is very knowledgeable and has a really good relationship with the vineyards. An excellent day out and lovely to meet those on the tour.
Tour was amazing

Value for money. Learned a lot from Phil. From history, culture, and his own experiences. We got lucky and got some side trips, so it was really worth it. Love all the wine we tasted. Appreciated good reds because of this trip. Will definitely recommend to friends and book again :)
Fantastic Day

Awesome day. Very knowledgeable staff..
Must have spent bit too long drinking the wine because we had to be quick at the last stop being the cheese shop.
Response from Host , Sep 2021
Thanks for the great review. Delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and the wine!
Apologies if the visit to C'est Cheese felt a bit rushed. We are only scheduled to call in there for a short time. Our foodie tours include a more comprehensive visit to C'est Cheese for next time perhaps :)

Although our driver was pleasant & Hotel pick up was great, thought we may have been asked about our preferences & our favorite wines .We found the 3 choices of wineries where not that great ,our 1ST winery their wine tasting pours were disappointing to say the least. 2ND stop could've been a way better experience,we felt like we were just shoved around the corner, on outdoor table seating, with no umbrellas & felt like an inconvenience,although they were fun, not professional. Some of our Tour group wanted lunch before our 3rd stop, which was fitted in for us & all agreed to do lunch before our last stop. We drove back into the town we had just driven around, before our 2ND winery. Had 45minutes, We took ourselves to The Wine Bank to give a wine tour feel atleast, another couple joined us which was fun. Our 3RD winery dont even know the name but some cheap barn feeling place, although he was friendly only served us Reds & I'm not a red drinker . Shame to have an disappointing experience in the wineries we were taken to. Flet Like we were driven around the blocks a few times also before arriving at wineries,we thinking to fill in time, but was a waste of our time would've rather just gone straight to the winery.
Response from Host , Jan 2021
Hi Gary,
Sorry to hear our Martinborough Winery Tour wasn't up to your expectations. We do pride ourselves on giving our guests a great experience outside of their wine preferences and I'm sorry that this wasn't the case for you.
We do usually provide guests a bit of flexibility on winery choices but on New Years Day there is limited choice as a vast majority of the wineries don't open on Jan 1st. That being said the wineries you visited were Poppies, Moy Hall and Muirlea Rise which are small boutique locally owned and operated wineries with a focus on Pinot Noir. Classic Martinborough and great examples of the region and wineries we visit regularly throughout the year.
Guests on your tour were given the option of a tapas style lunch at the second winery (Moy Hall) or a range of options in the Martinborough Town Square which is what you all opted for.

We really enjoyed our half day trip. Philip really knows his stuff and gave us much information about the area, the wineries and their owners. We tasted some lovely wines, ate some lovely food and met some lovely people. Only regret was not booking for the full day wine and food tour...........that sounded fabulous........
Superb in all ways!!

I was in Wellington for the weekend with my 25 year old son and last minute we decided to do a wine tour.
Phil our guide was quick to respond to our booking and picked us up promptly as he said he would for our tour.
We enjoyed our day and Phil was very informative about the Wellington area and the various Martinborough vineyards.
We enjoyed the vineyards we visited.
I would recommend this tour and guide.

It was really great, my tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything. I was lucky to have a private tour. If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, then it’s a must do.

We had such a lovely time! Mel was an excellent driver, and very knowledgeable about the areas we drove through. It was quite interesting to learn about this part of New Zealand's history as we made our way to the vineyards. The wines were delicious, and the vineyard reps very accommodating to our group. Thanks so much ZOZO tours!
Highly recommend

The wine tour was wonderful! It was just my husband and I and a mother and daughter from Scotland. We traveled through some gorgeous mountain side and Mel, our tour guide, stopped at the summit so that we could snap a picture. Mel was wonderful, a wealth of knowledge. We visited three wineries, eating lunch at Moy Hill. It was a nice selection of places to stop. First was a small boutique that has been opened 7 years ago by Poppy and her husband, Shane. The place is called Poppies and we were fortunate to have Poppy provide our wine tasting. She is passionate about her craft and each and every wine. Not a fan of rose, the rose we tasted here was fantastic. We were so impressed with the quality of the Pinot Gris, we chose it to take home with us. The next stop was Moy Hill, a brand new tiny winery that has been open for just over a year. We enjoyed bread with a selection of hummus, red pepper spread and kalamata olive spread while we tasted the wines. Our final stop was one of the bigger wineries, Pallisier that sell their wines retail. The tasting room had a chandelier that shone on the glasses shelved on the wall so that they appeared beaded. It was quite beautiful. While the young lady providing the tasting was scripted and fairly uninterested, the wines were very good and sold themselves. We bought 2 bottles here, a Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir, for which the Martinborough area is known. On our way back to Welly, Mel stopped by a working cheese shop where the proprietor spoke with us about his craft and provided us samples of Brie and Bleu Cheese. We picked up some "hard to get" aged sharp cheddar and some of his in house made delicious bleu cheese. Mel was so kind, knowledgeable and interesting. We really enjoyed her company and felt right at home. The countryside where the wineries are located (the golden mile) was well kept and beautiful. The vines are right outside the doors of the tasting rooms and you feel such a connection to the grapes. We would love to come back and spend a couple days cycling up and down the road, checking out all the establishments. New Zealand is a wild and beautiful place, thank you for sharing that beauty with us.
