Great Afternoon Out - We had a great afternoon visiting 3 wine vineyards with Tania our driver, who was very knowledgeable of the area. The lunch was perfect too. We had an enjoyable time, with the small group we were traveling with in the van as well. Thank you.

Fantastic day, rain, hail or shine - We had an awesome time on the trip Last weekend when we visited Christchurch for the first time, the driver was great and very accommodating, especially for my weak bladder after spending the day sipping on beautiful Vinos. I even beat her at connect 4 but I won’t rub that in. Overall a great day out and would recommend

Divine Waipara Wines - We had a really fantastic time visiting three wineries, with our guide Tania who really made us all feel right at home. The wineries were each unique, had great offerings to sample, and provided us with a great cross section of wines from this beautiful valley. If you have the chance to go, ask for Tania - she really makes the whole experience! Chris and Joseph

Great tour for sampling Waipara wines! - Overall a great tour - got to try a really wide selection of wines, I’ve lost count of how many different wines there actually were! Tania was an excellent guide, lots of fun and gave us lots of information about the area. We originally booked on the tour without a lunch - which was then unavailable after we had booked, so not ideal but moved onto the tour with a lunch. Unfortunately, the lunch platter wasn’t really our thing so was disappointed that we had to pay more for something we didn’t actually want, just to be able to do the wine tour.
