Awesome Wine and Food tour - Have completed an amazing day with Aaron on his Martinborough Wine and Food tour. Sampled excellent wines, chocolate and olive oil. The lunch platter was just scrumptious! Thank you again, Aaran, for your knowledge of food, wine and the area. We all enjoyed our day and listening to your stories

Highlight of the Trip - My partner and I went on a two-week vacation to New Zealand. Two days before our departure, we went on a half day Martinborough winery tour as the highlight of our trip in the North Island, in particular in the greater Wellington region. Our guide Aaron who was exceedingly knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects ranging from NZ history to geography, wine expertise to cooking delicacies . We tasted some lovely wines at different wineries and had lunch at a lovely upscale restaurant attached to one of the wineries. The wines that we tasted really enhanced the food we had! Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in culinary delights and wines!

Splendid jaunt to Martinborough! - It was a wonderful day with Aaron! He really knows his way around wine, the wineries, and history of New Zealand. As an added bonus, he even does tours for Lord of the Rings, and will pass along information, if there is time! He works to make sure you are having a good time and experience, and time is only a slight concern for him. Well worth the visit to the area, and worth the tour! Thank you for the wonderful excursion and insight in to the country, industry, and wares!

Aaron is a chef and sommelier rolled into one energetic bundle. A 5 star guide!! - This was our first trip to Wellington, New Zealand and definitely the first to Martinborough. Our our guide Aaron from Kosher Tours really made the day for us. Aaron is very knowledgeable about the region in general, but he also has a wealth of detailed information about the numerous individual wineries, the terroirs and growing areas, and the unique aspects of the wines produced. Aaron is a trained chef, so it's like spending a day with a chef and sommelier rolled into one energetic bundle. Even better, Aaron knows which wineries have the best food options and steered us to a fabulous lunch (which also happened to have 8 wine pairings!). I cannot imagine a more wonderful experience, and we are quite excited about coming back with some wine and foodie friends to spend an entire day (or 2) with Aaron.

Memorable day amongst the Vines - We really enjoyed our Martinborough wine and food tour. Our guide was Aaron, who is very passionate and enthusiastic about his backyard and everything it has to offer. Aaron's knowledge of the areas of Martinbrough were informative, travelling to 3 different boutique wine producers to experience the fruits of their labour. We enjoyed our day. Thanks, Aaron!

A great day with a chef touring Martinborough wine country. - This tour was an amazing experience. If you like to talk food and/or wine Aaron is your guy. He picked us up at the cruise port right on time. Drove us through Wellington and gave us info on the city as we drove by. The stop at the mountaintop was beautiful. All along the way Aaron spoke about wine and food. He is a chef and is very knowledgeable on the production and pairing of wine with food. The lunch we had at Poppies was an excellent variety of foods in a beautiful outdoor vineyard setting. A great way to spend the day in Martinborough/Wellington.

Touring the vines - Great tour of a number of smaller wineries. Aaron did a great job with the guiding and the bus was very comfortable. Food for lunch was really nice. We had a mix of ages (including elderly) and everyone had a good time

Wine tour of choice - A fantastic wine tour that allowed us to visit a variety of high quality wineries with a great commentary by Aaron. Not only was he knowledgeable about wine, food and cooking but he also was a wealth of knowledge on Lord of the Rings. Lunch was spectacular with a shared tasting platter for two. We were able to watch the harvest, taste ripe grapes ready for picking and interact with wine pickers, makers and owners. I highly recommend this tour.
