What travellers are saying
- SMSOttawa, Canada58 contributionsThe tour was exactly as advertised: we were picked up and driven to three different wineries to taste different reds, whites and rosés, and have a meal at one of the wineries. Meal was adaptable to different diet types. Our group size (9) was very manageable and pleasant. Small suggestion: it would be great if the wineries could give cards with the names of the wines tasted (or write them on a blackboard so we could photograph) so we could have them for future reference/purchase. Our guide (Rob) was very pleasant.Written 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- FAADubai, United Arab Emirates22 contributionsEverything was awesome. The guide was on time and very friendly and informative, the wineries included a wide selection of wines and very friendly owners who explained everything, and the people on the tour were fun. The lunch (more like a a selection of tasty appetizers plate) was yummy also.Written 24 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jessica M27 contributionsOur day at the farm and winery was amazing! The day far exceeded our expectations! The farm was incredible to see with picturesque landscapes. Lunch was exceptional and delicious! Our guide Simon was incredible.
We had accidentally booked the wrong date for the tour initially but Geoff and Joy were a pleasure to work with and got everything squared away without any issues!!
I highly recommend this tour!!Written 10 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Their passion was captivating but could not match it. Driver and guide was very entertaining and learned a lot from him about the trilogy of movies.Written 11 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laura NCamarillo, CA55 contributionsStarted with a driving tour of Christchurch and learned about their devastating earthquake 14 years ago. Enjoyed a stop at a garden along the way. Then visited 3 wineries in the Waipara wine country - enjoyed the beauty of the countryside as well as each of the wineries. Had a nice lunch at the second winery. Our bus held 16 people - nice size and we had good people and a nice driver.
This would have been a 5 star trip except for 2 things - one was the stop at the overlook was crammed with way too many people and buses at the same time which made it hard to enjoy and the bathrooms were very limited. The other was our driver had problems with his microphone so I think he didn’t share as many stories as we were driving.Written 24 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This was our first time booking a winery tour, and we highly recommend this tour company. Their prompt and efficient communication was highly impressive.Written 15 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FromNowhere85Frisco, TX27 contributionsWe did two day tours out of Christchurch with Cheeky Kea, and they were awesome. Paul took us to Kaikoura, and showed us exactly what we'd hoped to see. Magical day. Diane took us to Mt Cook, and she was full of information and fun to talk with. Both tours felt personalized, and well worth the money.Written 24 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike JNew Providence, NJ80 contributionsWe actually had a private Christchurch private tour of Christchurch and the surrounding area. Our guide was Mandy and she was fantastic! She asked what we were interested in and we mentioned street art, cultural places, recovery from the earthquake and aftershocks etc. She showed us many examples of street are during the day - some so stunning - one was a 3D of the storefronts that had been destroyed by the earthquake - so cool. We visited many places in the city including the catherdral, riverside market and so much more. We then drove into the hills above the city and had breathtaking views of Christchurch. Our recommendation is to ask for Mandy if you want to learn about the city and have a very pleasant day.Written 3 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda R47 contributionsGreat wine tasting and food. Beautiful area and cozy dinning. Friendly people and guide very informative.Written 4 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sally S10 contributionsI had a stop in Christchurch before meeting friends in Australia and love wine and golf so this was an easy pick to do for a free day. I am so grateful I did. I had a great 18 holes and then three winery tastings. I can’t say enough about the day except that I would have gradly paid double for the experience. Grant picked me up where I was staying and as my personal guide for the day. In addition to playing Pegasus Golf which was a very modern and playable but beautiful course, the three wineries were personal and fun and had a great boutique experience. I highly recommend this company.Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
