a perfect day visiting martinborough
We booked a Martinborough private wine tour through Zozo Travel and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The entire day was beautifully coordinated—relaxed yet efficient, with just the right amount of time at each stop. Phil, our guide, was outstanding. His selection of wineries was spot on, each offering something unique and memorable. Phil was engaging and clearly had deep local knowledge and passion for the region.
Operator response
Thanks, Rita. It's always a pleasure to host such engaging guests. Thanks for choosing Zozo and delighted to hear the day was so enjoyable for all.

Fabulous Wine and Cheese Tasting
A fabulous day 10-3.30. We visited an amazing cheese shop (c’est cheese) and spoke to the owner Paul who is so passionate about the cheese he makes and the other NZ artisan cheese that he stocks.
Moy Hall Winery was amazing and a knowledgeable tasting of 5 of their wines. We also chose to have some lunch there which was amazing.
The guide who was lovely also then gave us the choice of going to another vineyard or a chocolate tasting we opted for another vineyard and she chose a fabulous place called Palisers, fabulous organic wines.
A highly knowledgeable guide who knew her history of NZ, she was well travelled having originated from Greece.
I would highly recommend this tour
A big thank you from Liz and Sue

Great Day!! Great Guide!!
Simon was excellent. He was waiting for us, had excellent knowledge of Wellington and Martinborough. He knows the culture of the Māori and the nation. He lives in Wellington so when one winery was crowded, he took us to another. Great lunch recommendation and a lovely day!
Operator response
Thanks for the great feedback Lynda. Delighted that you enjoyed Simon's extensive knowledge and expertise.

Great wine and food
Scott, our driver was very informative. He brought us to three different wineries. Our favorite was poppies. We had a great lunch there. And the three little boutique wineries have great tasting and refreshing wines. Martinborough is a very cute little town.
