Spurs Rule!
Owen was fantastic, very knowledgeable & engaging. Very relaxing, enjoyable tour of the Hawke’s Bay wineries where the hosts were very flexible with the wines we liked. I would definitely recommend Princes Tours to anyone thinking about a great day out.

Outstanding small group tour - truly a great experience.
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.

Highly recommend
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.

Great small group wines tour with fabulous host/driver
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! 😊

great convivial wine tour
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.
