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.

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

Grant took us to 4 vineyards in a comfortable minivan. Informative and friendly guide, with excellent hosts at each stop. Delicious wines at each and a cheese platter to help things along at one of them. Most enjoyable trip.

Experience for what is available in the Hawkes Bay very limited diappointed, food stop at Oak Winery is not value for money, more focused on reds with no other options offered if you do not drink red, very disappointed and not value for money paid, guide very knowledgeable

What an awesome day with Hamish. Visited three wineries and ended up at Craggy Range for a late lunch. Service spectacular and so much fun. Love supporting the region and everyone else should get on board and visit. Well worth the trip 😀😀

We had a private four hour tour with Ian and it was fantastic. We visited three wineries and all provided a wide array of tastings from sparkling, to white and on to red and finishing with a desert wine. Ian found out we were also big fans of local olive oil so he made a stop at a local olive oil producer. We ended our half day tour with multiple bottles of wine and added olive oil at the end. Ian is extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area and wine production in New Zealand and specific to the Hawk’s Bay area. Highly recommended if you are interested in learning about the Hawk’s Bay wine industry.

We spent three days being driven around the area including our transfers with Jill. She was a great guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, everyone in Hawke’s Bay knows her.
She took us on our first day to Te Mata peak and on the way down to town for a wine tour stopped at the local Honey museum as we had a half hour to fill. This was a really fun little diversion.
The next day Jill took us to three great wineries and dropped us off for lunch at Cellar 495 in Hastings. She accompanied us to each spot, gave us some history and back story and engaged with the proprietors who all knew her well.
She drives a sweet BMW and everything about the experience was fun. She was always on time. On the morning of our departure she gave us a wonderful tour of down town Napier on our way to the airport.
Five star service all the way.

Hi, do we get to choose which wineries we visit and if not do we get advance notice so we can organise a lunch on another day with a winery we missed? Also I realise lunch is at our cost but do we need to book the restaurant on the day of the tour or can we simply walk in when we arrive? Thanks, Diane

Hi Diane , we do our best to accommodate guest requests, & can let you know a couple of days before the tour so you can plan. We will book you at church road on the day of your tour . We recommend their platters as they are a delicious selection of food, cost effective & they are ver efficient with time so you are not rushed at lunch or the wineries after lunch either. Hope that helps? Regards Di

Hi Hamish, I am looking for a small tour (say max 10 or 12 pax) on 15/1/2018. We are on the Norwegian Jewel arriving 8am and leaving 5pm. I would like to see a bit of the sites (Te Mata Peak) and the Napier area (maybe have some morning tea in a nice place) and a couple of wineries. 4 Hours maybe. What can you do for us? thanks, Ineke

Hi there
I notice our cruise ship is not listed for 2016/17.
It is Crystal Symphony arriving Napier Sat Jan 14 2017.
Is there a reason for this ?
Thanks

Hi there, the cruise ships listed on our website are those whom we have our shore excursion on.
If you check the Napier port cruise schedule you will notice that your ship is indeed listed to visit Napier Jan 14th 2017.

Hi Hamish and Ian,
My husband and I, and another couple will be on a cruise. We will be in Napier on Feb 12, 2017. My concern is, will we have sufficient time since Our ship docks at 7 am sails out at 2 pm. I am interested in the Moana winery and if feasible the lunch as well.
Thanks to the great reviews, we would like to experience this tour.
Regards,
Melanie Rodericks
