This winery tour was very enjoyable and John was so knowledgeable, he provided running commentary about the places we visited and New Zealand. We visited a number of beautiful scenic places on our way to two wineries. The wineries and lunch were superb and I would highly recommend this tour.

We had the best day wine tasting and sightseeing with John. This is our first visit to New Zealand and this tour gave us a great introduction to the beautiful countryside and wine. The wineries had excellent wines and lunch was delicious. We even fit in a stop for ice cream. We highly recommend this tour.

Our excursion was awesome! John is an excellent host and tour guide. His knowledge of wines, New Zealand's history and current happenings lead to conversations during our drive around the coastal area. Everything was just perfect: chocolates, cheeses, lunch and the wines! Our group of four joined John for two different tours during the week. I highly recommend John and NZ WINEPRO to anyone visiting New Zealand for a wonderful experience.
