The view of the coast and the sea lions were amazing! We got to watch sea lions in the natural habitat. We also got to walk up to a light house. Our tour guide Michael made us feel like family. He was the best!!!

This was a trip with a great itinerary and a great guide that did not live up to its potential. The trip was to include a cheese tasting, but upon arrival at the cheese maker, no tasting was provided. The single wine tasting was lackluster and inexplicably did not include a single Pinot Noir. The vineyard is noted for its Pinot Noirs. The lunch provided by the vineyard was excellent and one of the highlights of the trip. The dinner meal was very poor. Pub food.

Thanks for an amazing day out Phil!! We loved the mix of nature, food and history. The seals and the lighthouse were a highlight!

Zozo was suggested by our hotel concierge and we booked the day tour. Simon, our guide, punctually collected us at the hotel in a new and comfortable van that we shared with other wine enthusiasts. He was extremely friendly and great at providing information, accommodating requests and taking us to some great wineries where we enjoyed an excellent lunch and tasted some delicious New Zealand pinot noirs. It was a great day, with a really friendly atmosphere. The weather was lovely too adding to the already excellent experience. If you are visiting Wellington and thinking of touring wineries Zozo is an excellent option and we highly recommend them.
