We couldn't speak highly enough of Helen and her tour. We had a superb day out. First stop was Featherston for coffee and cheese scone, and purchase of delicious cheeses. On to Martinborough for the wineries and lunch. It was all extremely friendly and of course Helen had pre-arranged the visits and knew the staff at the wineries so our visits were more personalised. We would certainly recommend these tours. Kaye and Ian

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this very kind review. I'm delighted to know that you enjoyed your Martinborough wine tour and that is was also fun! Yes C'est Cheese makes outstanding cheeses and I owe you some Blue Cheese! I am also happy to hear you both felt welcome and enjoyed the hospitality at each of the vineyards included in the tour. We aim to provide a personalised experience so our guests enjoy a relaxed tasting of the beautiful wines and a chance to talk to the staff and wine makers about the viticulture and love, sweat and tears that goes into each bottle! À ta santé! Helen

Helen was fantastic!
Helen tailored our tour to include so much more than we anticipated and was a walking/driving historian and encyclopedia on Wellington and the Martinborough region! She was a delight and we were most lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from her.

100% Recommended, this tour caters to your needs.
Helen was such a good choice for our visit to the Martinborough Vineyards, her knowledge on the local wine and food is 5 ☆
You definitely get more than you pay for, as it was just my wife and myself Helen offered numerous stop offs at local attractions including sets from the Lord of the rings, a local cheese shop and a local chocolate shop with no extra costs, her knowledge on the areas, culture and history made it feel we were on a guided tour the hole trip.
Beautiful car and very comfortable and i can't recommend enough.

Excellent tour guide!
Helen. Helen was our favorite part of this experience! The car was lovely and comfortable, the wine was delicious, but Helen’s knowledge of the history, culture, and wine was most impressive. She was super thoughtful and communicated everything we needed in advance. I’d come back to New Zealand just to do another tour with Helen.

Not Just Your Average Wine Tour
Absolutely delightful! We had no idea what to expect and the tour far exceeded our expectations. Helen and Mark were so welcoming and knowledgeable; they shared many stories and the history of the region. Our day started with a stop at the Kaitoke Regional Park. Magical! A stop at Aston Norwood Cafe for coffee and scones was perfect after the chilly walk in the park region. We moved on to enjoy a trip over the mountain to Martinborough and enjoyed a wine tasting at Palliser. The Sauvignon Blanc was amazing! We then traveled to Tirohana Estate for a wine tasting and leisurely gourmet lunch. Our host Toby did not disappoint! We moved to Poppies for a wonderful tasting and loved the Late Harvest Riesling. We journeyed back to Wellington with a quick stop at Schoc Chocolates for a sweet ending to our tour. The day was amazing with a taste of wine, history, and the beautiful scenery; a truly wonderful experience filled with lovely memories and new friends. Thanks again, Helen and Mark!

Heavenly, authentic experience!
From the moment we met Helen we knew we were in very good hands as she was so very friendly! The Tesla was incredibly comfortable, clean & had everything we may need available to us, tissues, water etc! We learned so much from Helen about the flora, fauna & history of NZ, she was a pleasure to listen to! The wine & food we ate was amazing & definitely 5 star! This was an incredibly authentic experience of NZ that we will remember happily for many years to come!
