Description

Good to Know

Guests love the balance of excellent wine, local stories, stunning scenery and easygoing fun, plus thoughtful touches like a curated charcuterie board. With door-to-door Wanaka pickup and a friendly, social vibe, it feels less like a tour and more like being shown around by a local friend who truly loves the region. This half-day tour is hosted by a passionate local guide with international wine-tour experience, offering a relaxed, personal feel from start to finish. Unlike larger operators, this tour runs in small groups, allowing real conversations with winemakers, unhurried tastings, and flexibility to adapt the day to the group’s interests. Wineries are carefully selected boutique producers, chosen for their quality, character and welcoming atmosphere rather than volume or commercial scale.

Such a wonderful tour!

This was a fantastic experience. One of our favorites from the entire trip in New Zealand. The wines were fantastic to try, the guide was very knowledgeable about the wineries and the area and the settings were gorgeous. The guide was a great conversationalist and the whole team went above and beyond to make sure we were all happy.

Absolutely brilliant.

Michelle was super friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and the wineries we visited. We visited 3 places, all brilliant but all very different and we felt like we had a great feel for NZ wine afterwards. Not sure we could have asked for a better day really, 100% recommended.
