"I highly recommend the wine tour. Whilst in NZ I did take a few wine tours but this was by far the best. The wineries we visited were all excellent and very generous with their tastings. The food throughout the day was fantastic. If you get the chance definitely take this tour. " - Tripadvisor Member
