A wonderful day of beer and wine tasting, stunning scenery and a lovely cocktail and desert to finish the day off!
Our guide Paul was knowledgeable about wine and clearly loves where he lives. His sense of humour and quick one liners kept us engaged all day.
The trip was well organised and we were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation in a timely manner.
Would highly recommend.

Paul not only knows the area, because he was born and raised in the area. We learned a lot about the history of Tauranga, saw some beautiful homes and beaches, as well as some white water rafters. He also really knows his wine! The beer tasting at a local brewery was also fun. I would have preferred going to another winery in lieu of having a cocktail at the marina. We would definitely have Paul guide us again!
