One of the best winery tours we have experienced. We were picked up in a new Mercedes Benz van which was very comfortable and toured with a small group which made for a wonderful day. Our guide was knowledgeable not only about the Hawkes Bay area but wine and viticulture. His friendly and easy-going approach made the day a real experience. We had the wonderful tastings at three very different wineries. The cheese and meat board was a welcome mid-day snack. Can't fault anything about the tour and would highly recommend to others.
Thank you for your kind review, really appreciate it! It was a pleasure showing you around Hawkes Bay - safe travels home!
One of the best wine tours we have been on. An excellent selection of various wineries were visited. The guide was knowledgeable about the region and wines and was super friendly and fun. Travelled in a very comfortable van in a small group. Highly recommended.
Glad you enjoyed your day and thanks so much for leaving a review, appreciate it!
A fun and fab day at a great mix of wineries! Amanda was so lovely and knowledgeable - both about the wine and the Hawke’s bay area in general. The tour ended up feeling super personalised and all three wineries really tailored our tastings for us. Would highly recommend Prinsy’s to anyone wanting a more boutique wine tour vibe in Hawke’s bay.
We’re so glad you had a great day! Thanks for leaving a review , will pass this onto Amanda
Deidre was so lovely! The whole experience was great – especially loved trinity hill! Can highly recommend even for solo travellers, being in such a small group was great.

So glad you enjoyed your day! thanks for leaving a review
Fabulous day with great driver/host who took us to 3 very different wineries. Her passion and knowledge of the local area, as well as further afield, meant she could give great advice for our on going travels. The families and staff who explained about the different wines were extremely passionate and knowledgeable. Great company with the other couple who were on the tour, which made it a most enjoyable day sampling fabulous wine. Would highly recommend this tour if you’re in Napier (which is also a fabulous place to visit!) Thank you! 😊
Thank you David for such a lovely review - great to hear!
Guide was fantastic. Great choice of boutique wineries
Thanks for your review - we really appreciate it!
This was such a great wine tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable and interesting. We went around 4 vineyards each quite different. My favourite was the Swift. It was a small group and we had a lovely time chatting to one another as well as considering the wine - lovely cheeseboard in the last vineyard. Would definitely recommend.
Great to hear - thank you!
Great excursion sampling lovely local wines! Would highly recommend. This to any New Zealand visitors
