This was such an amazing day. Tom is such a wonderfully relaxed and knowledgeable guy who loves showing people wine country around Martinborough. His commentary throughout the day made this a truly memorable experience. Our wine tasting at Le Gra and lunch provided by Nicky Geary and Brian was delightful. The rose was particularly tasty. Later, at Johner Estate, we were surprised with freshly picked grapes in addition to the delicious wines. Our stop at Poppies was so much fun. The Sauvignon Semillon was something we don’t usually seek out, but this one was really good. Since Tom heard that we were Lord of the Rings fans, on the way back to Wellington, he stopped at Kaitoke Regional Park where Rivendell scenes were filmed. That was a real treat. Tom seems to know everyone, and they know him. If we ever make it back to New Zealand, we will certainly book his Foodie Delights Tour. Thanks for an unforgettable day!

What an amazing day!! My husband and I didn’t really notice the word ‘private’ in the description of our tour…so were surprised when it was just the two of us and Tom. He really made us feel special. Tom is very knowledgeable, friendly and a great person to spend a day with. Brian and Nicky at Le Gra winery host a really nice tasting and lunch, and shared a lot of information about their operation. We met the owner at Johner’s, and Poppies winery was elegant and fun. We saw a lot of the countryside with a few stops at some scenic and interesting places. Would highly recommend this tour.

Tom and Jill were delightfull hosts. The Bees in Featherston, fascinating, the scenery of the south, amazing, but best of all was the delicious fine food accompanied with an exquisite wine at Poppies in Martinborough will stay in our "memory banks" for many a year.
