Our tour with Joe was spectacular! Very friendly and informative, Joe is a wonderful host who has a great rapport with the wineries. He is passionate about his Maori culture as well as the wines. We didn't feel like we were on a tour, but rather hanging out with an old friend.…

Kia Ora team, Love my USA friends, always enjoy sharing the wines, history and beauty of this lovely region. One of my favourite aspects is that in our 30 min drive from Cromwell back to Wanaka at the end of the experience I see my guests sleep which means the wine and cheese has worked and you are in a state of relaxation ;) Mā te wā/Until next time. Joe

Finally The Rock has come back....to the most entertaining review ever. My US of A whanau/family really took my wine tours to another level on this one. Unlike someone says "It doesn't matter what you think", it matters a lot to me so thank you for being the couple that laid the smackdown on all the candy cheeses, and could finally smell what the Central Otago wine was cooking.
