It was a great tour. Our guide was a very pleasant lady but we could not understand what she said. We think her head phones / amplification system need attention. The first winery Brookhall ? Was disappointing as they only seemed to have very young wines and the white wines were not chilled. There tasting notes were helpful. The Church House was a brilliant venue and we had a great host. Tasting notes would have been useful. Trinity was great and the food was very acceptable and the host was good. Final mission Winery was an exceptional venue with some lovely wines and a great host. Receiving the gift at the end was a lovely touch.

Picked up exactly on time, there were seven people on the tour. Tour guide/driver ( Sunni?) was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic on the history of the wine region. Tour included 4 wineries and 4 to 5 samples of wine at each location, with a cheese board platter at the 3rd visit. A good day out with good company

Each winery stop provided several samples to taste. The 3 wineries we visited were very nice and the last stop for beer/cider was a real treat! The tour providers seemed a bit overwhelmed with the size of the group and all the chatter among the tourists. The snacks at the second winery were actually large cheese boards that were delicious and plentiful! The only drawback for me, was not being able to understand the bus driver’s thick accent.

We were at the hotel sitting inside but somehow they missed our pick up. We rang and were then told a white car was on its way- so we then waited outside the Quest. We are glad we missed the initial pick up as we were a couple and the van took 12 but there were 13 in our group.Hence we were chauffeured by the lovely Suhk ( not sure of the spelling) and it was awesome. Four great wineries with a lovely group of fellow wine tasters.

That was such a great time. The guides were so friendly and the wineries are sooo good. We tasted 20 type of wines at total. Also other group members are so lovely.

We had such a lovely time! The wineries were beautiful and each tasting included commentary from winery staff. In between wineries, we got great commentary from our driver/tour guide. We had a cheese board at one winery which was excellent! The group size was 8, which was quite nice to chat with people without feeling too busy. We also received a wine glass at the end and had time to purchase wines along the way. Highly recommend!

Nice scenic tour of town sites very unique Artistic structures. Both the wine tasting and visitation to winery and the beer tasting at local pub were excellent. Driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and communicated very well

Excellent tour. We visited 4 great winery’s & were very well looked after in all. Kirsty & Souk were brilliant guides. Special mention has to go to Maggie who went above & beyond on the journey home where she told us lots about Napier itself & showed us various parts on the journey back.

Lovely vineyards, very informative and a good selection of wines. It would have been nice to have had an opportunity to buy some lunch. Maggie was an excellent guide

Our driver was Souk who was knowledgeable about the area and very informative. We were the only ones on the tour so was very personalised. The only negative was the absence of the advertised souvenier.

Group size of 6 was perfect, giving the participants a friendly and intimate social setting. The visit to 4 different vineyards of different size and style was a good intro to the region's wine scene. Owners were very generous with the wine portions and the local cheeses were excellent.

Sunny was a great guide who showed us the sites of Napier. His knowledge of the history of Napier was excellent. We visited all the places as advertised. It was a well rounded tour, including sites of significance as well as a wine tasting and beer/cider tasting. It was just the two of us on tour as others had cancelled so appreciated our tour not being cancelled at the last minute. Highly recommend.

A very enjoyable tour of the Hawkes Bay wine growing region. Souk (sorry, I've probably spelt her name wrong!) looked after us very well and all the wineries were interesting - the wines ranged from delicious to challenging and occasionally divided opinions in the small group - but it was fascinating to try so many variations of new world wine.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable day touring a selection of wineries and an ale house. The group consisted of myself and my husband and a family of six. The tour guide, Anil was very knowledgeable about the area even though he was born and brought up in Birmingham. The wine was plentiful and I learnt a lot about the process of wine making. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

We had a great day, guided by Anil, tasting great wines, beers, and gins of the region. All the tastings were excellent, our favourites were the Brookfields vineyard and the National Distillery Co. Anil's anecdotes and local knowledge helped to make it a really enjoyable trip. Definitely would recommend
