This was an outstanding day visiting 3 wineries (plus a chocolate shop) with some new friends we met on the tour. the 6 of us had a ball! Many great wines, tasty treats, and delectable eats. This day does not happen without Ross, our driver and tour guide. His detailed knowledge of the region, wine making, and grape growing was all the difference in our day. Can't recommend this trip enough to anyone wanting a memorable day.
Hi Mark, thank you very much for posting such a great and compressive review, much appreciated, always good to make new friends. Cheers Ross
Ross was great- van easy for us to get into and roomy with 9 of us on the tour. Visited the Mission winery and had a platter lunch. Visited Silk Chocolates, Pask winery and last stop with crackers and cheese to complement the wine choices. Lots of history explained with all 3 wineries. The day flew by and was worth every cent spent. And Ross us good with last minute bookings were a lot you got to book weeks in advance.
Hi Trish, thanks for the great review, I really appreciate it.
What a day. Ross picked us up at our hotel in Napier 11:30 for our afternoon wine and lunch trip. Our first stop was Mission Vineyard for a very good lunch and subsequent tasting. Our next stop was Pask Estate where we had our second tasting. Third tasting at the Trinity Hill Estate included a cheese board. The whole day was perfect with good wines and Ros's very knowledges about wine and the area. 10 stars and highly recommend
Thanks so much for the great review, I love a 10 star. Cheers Ross
Thank you Ross for a fantastic tour! Really well organised and paced. We enjoyed the small group, beautiful food and excellent selection of wines and wineries.
Thanks for the great review, and for mentioning organization and pace of tour as I set out to make this tour leisurely relaxed and enjoyable and not being rushed to the next winery. Cheers Ross
Exceptional! A brilliant day, but to get the maximum benefit opt to begin with the lunch at 'Mission' Wineries. John was an excelkent guide, and each tasting was informative and led by knowledgeable, enthusiastic wine experts who were genuinely pleased to conduct each session. Very highly recomnended!
Thanks for your great review and mention of both John and the lunch at Mission Estate, Regards Ross
Brilliant wine tour of quality wineries with a very nice lunch and Ross our guide was very professional and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the experience. Would definitely recommend as one of the best we have ever been on
Hi Simon, thanks for the great review and recommendation. This season I have made a point of providing an itinerary that is relaxed and leisurely .cheers Ross
My husband and I participated in this tour with Ross as our guide. Ross was amazing and knowledgeable about the region history, growing process and could answer just about any question. The wineries selected were diverse and gave us a great overview of the wines in the area. The lunch which started the day and cheese and biscuits at the end of the day were perfect! Highly recommend this tour and Ross as the guide
Thank you Roma for the great review and noting the highlights, and how about meeting up ( by chance ) with 2 other Swiss German couples ) cheers Ross
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour and wine tasting with Ross. He was a very knowledgeable guide, having lived in the area for many years, and took us to some great vineyards. Our lunch at Mission Estate was memorable and delicious. A beautiful setting with some great wines. Trinity Hill offered some great reds in a gorgeous space. It was great to meet some new people and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend!
Hi Sarah, thanks so much for the great review, much appreciated
We enjoyed the scenic tours of the oldest wineries in Hawks Bay. Local knowledge of the region was interesting.
Hi Teresa, thank you for your great review, tasting at the oldest winery and the oldest commercial winery within the same tour makes for a interesting mix
Ross was great but he was let down by one vineyard which was closed despite accepting his booking. However the wine choices were excellent.
Hi Ian, thanks for your review, it was a busy day with a big group that gelled together well
