Wine Pairing Perfection - Tracy was informative and a great driver for our day. Cheeses and chocolates were delightful with a wine tasting and lunch in between. It was great to see Martinborough for the day just outside of Wellington. Highly recommend for smaller, more intimate group setting.

Great Adventure! - Our group of 4 adult women loved the trip over the hill to Martinborough. We enjoyed trying chocolates, cheeses, and wines! Phil had so much information about the area. Such a pleasant day and a quick snapshot of a big area!
