Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We did a private wine tour with Hamish. There were 4 of us in our group. Hamish picked us up, and we did tastings at 5 wineries, one of which was Abbey Estate, where we had lunch. All the costs for the tastings were included. All we had to pay for was our lunch and wine purchases.

Hamish was really friendly, full of great knowledge on the wineries we were visiting, and joined us for.

The wine tastings were all organized and lunch booked. It really was a great day out and very enjoyable.

Would certainly recommend this to anyone wanting an enjoyable day out.

Cheers to Hamish for his hospitality.

Fun time visiting a mix of large & family operated wineries in the area and sampling, both red and white varieties. The weather was a little cloudy but the chance of rain, but the wine was interesting (and sparkling in some cases), companions enjoyable, and our guide knowledgeable.

Jill was an amazing driver who went out of her way to do “extras” to help everyone out. Very knowledgeable. The wineries were excellent. The stop in Te Mata was a nice way to start the tour. The group of people were all best friends by the end of the tour. Prinsy’s was easy to deal with, on-time, and quick to respond. Loved the day!

We bad such a fantastic time on our tour. It was wonderful to get to explore the regions, visiting 4 different wineries, each offering something different. Ian was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and I'd happily recommend this tour to others.

We took a 4 hour wine tour of the Hawkes Bay wine region: the Napier, Hastings and Havelock North area. They have lots of wineries to pick from and we visited Church Road, Te Mata Estate, Askerne, (where we had cheese, crackers, jams and salamis), and Black Barn. All were nice in their own way. All had wines for sale. We had a lovely woman driver. All in all, a great way to see this wine region. Highly recommend.

We had such an enjoyable private wine tasting tour with Jill. Jill is very friendly and knowledgeable, we visited 3 wineries and the Te Mata lookout. I was very careless leaving my phone in the car when we finished the tour, and Jill was so kind to return the phone to me the next morning back to the hotel. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hawke’s Bay.

We had such a fun day on this tour, being locals we enjoyed being taken to vineyards that we had not ever been too. We tasted in total over 17 different wines!
Whilst the temperature outside was 30 degrees, the minibus had good air conditioning and so did the wineries! Grant from Prinsy's was really informative and good fun, also making sure we staying hydrated between wine tasting.
I loved our tour, it was great to see the wonderful wines that are being produced in Hawkes Bay!

My husband and I did this wine tour with Ian, and our party consisted of 2 Japanese tourists and 4 French tourists along with us (English tourists).
All I can say is this was an absolutely amazing day out.

Ian was exceptional and very knowledgeable in all aspects of the tour.
Would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to do a high end Wine Tour.
You are under No Pressure to purchase any of the wines that you sample at any of the Vineyards ......but of course we did .

All in all, it was a wonderful experience
