Thanks for the great review, Stephanie. Our Waipara Wine tour is one of our most popular day tours and I'm happy to see that it is living up to that reputation. We have handpicked those wineries because of their friendly, dedicated staff and, of course, their incredible wines. All our drivers also have a great knowledge of the region which really adds to the experience. It's great to hear that you've picked up a few bottles from the wineries too. I trust you will enjoy them and have fond memories of your wine trail. Thanks again for the recommendation and we hope you get to visit NZ again sometime soon!

As you will see from all of the other reviews, especially relating to this very tour that we are a very reputable company offering great value tours and shore excursions throughout New Zealand, we continuously aim to meet and where possible exceed our customers expectations. We were not aware that the customers placing this review were in anyway unhappy with their tour until receipt of this review. Had the customers came to us directly we would have certainly offered them a refund. On the day of travel, which was a glorious warm summers afternoon, the group spent longer than estimated at the first of the two wineries enjoying the wines and soaking up the atmosphere. At many of the wineries there are more wines on offer to taste than time normally allows. As the group were spending longer than normal at the first two wineries it was put to the group that they could stay longer and taste more wines and miss one of the wineries included on the itinerary, by this way they could spend longer and taste more wines at the final winery. As the group were in agreement with no one on the day objecting this was done. Due to the closing times of the wineries which is restricted by their liquor license the tour can not be pushed beyond 5 pm for the final tasting .
