Very Enjoyable Waipara Wine Tasting tour - We had a fabulous day out visiting 3 different wineries. Giles was very knowledgeable and professional. Lunch was at Torlesse Wines, and the Platter provided was lovely. Other Wineries we visited were Pegasus Bay and Georges Road. Booking the tour was easy and communication regarding pick up and Dietary requirements was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and highly recommend this tour.

Feast for the eyes & taste buds - Gorgeous views, excellent tour guide & wide array of high quality wine choices. Made converts out of us who have shied away from Chardonnays. The Sauvignon Blancs & Pinot Noirs here lived up to expectations & more. The wineries we visited were par excellence, the owners very nice & our tour guide, a sommelier himself was knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

More than a normal wine tasting tour - Giles was an excellent guide with such an enthusiasm for sharing his extreme knowledge of wine with us. We learned a lot and it was much more than a normal wine tasting tour. The wines offered at the 3 wineries were very good and the lunch offering was more than ample. Would highly recommend Giles!!
