Craig was on time, organized, a great driver, knowledgeable of the area and each winery. Most of all he was personable and a lot of fun! We had a terrific small group that enjoyed getting to know one another with lots of laughs through the adventure.

Craig was such a great guide. This tour was awesome and the group of 5 of us had a great time. We went to 4 excellent wineries. This type of small group experIence is the way to go.

Best wine tasting tour of hawke’s Bay
Judith_B, Feb 2023
Great experience starting from timely pick up at hotel, four lovely and distinctly different wineries. Craig is local and full of food information, loves people and hawke’s Bay Area. We sipped, learned about wines and lingered. He was flexible and a good driver and perfect host. Highly recommend even if you’re traveling solo!

Craig was awesome as our guide. The boutique wineries we visited were great with friendly people and great wines, yet they were different and unique. We throughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great small group experience.

Epitome of New Zealand’s wine country!
Linda_W, Jan 2023
If we could give 10 stars, we would! Craig was lovely, engaging and very knowledgeable! He adapted his timelines and stops to match our limited off shore time. A fantastic adventure, especially watching sheep moved to a different pasture by working dogs!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
yes that was cool fun to see our working dogs do their stuff, maybe we could ask the farmer to do this every day as we pass !!!!! cheers Craig

Great Wine Tasting
Thomas_L, Nov 2022
Craig gave the best wine tasting possible in the limited time we had. Had a cuppa and toured three vineyards with wine tasting. I believe this tour is normally at least four vineyards but by agreement with Craig and our limited time we only toured 3 and made it back to the ship :)
The wines were excellent and the 1970 VW Combi was fun. Everybody recognized Craig and his vehicle. Excelent tour!!!
