Great tour, informative and personable guide. Wineries visited were superb not to mention the lunch at Moy Hall! Highly recommend.

Great wine tour fully recommended.tom our driver was great giving us information about the area which was great to know.would do it again lovely wine and vineyards.

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.

Great tour visited 3 wineries and even managed to get to a brewery , communication was excellent and an enjoyable experience

Excellent day, brilliant weather and great range of wines to taste. Lovely lunch and great guide. Saw bits of the area we wouldn't have otherwise stopped at

Was completely worth it. Very professional and they definitely know what they doing. I would recommend them, and definitely will be doing the full day tour next time with more people :) Thank you!

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!

I loved this tour. Great tour guide, good choice in wineries (small, local), beautiful scenery, friendly people. 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.
