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!

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.

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

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.

Our guide was a mind of information about general NZ history as well as the Martinborough wine region. His selection of vineyards was varied and interesting. He was an extremely entertaining Bon vivant and a proud New Zealander. However, I was rather surprised that his patriotism didn’t extend to his charges being in NZ dollars.
