We have just had the most amazing experience with Do doing the twilight gin and wine tour. Do's excellent local knowledge combined with the sophisticated pallets of the sumilians made it a well worthy experience. The only issue is the cost of us getting all this amazing locally produced goodness back to Australia lol.

I have spent 3 weeks in NZ and can say this was one of the highlights. Ana was our driver (amazing on the Crown twist & turns!), friendly and fun. We had her first all women tour just by coincidence and we all were friendly and fun folks. I loved all the locations and near Cardona we saw Bradona- a once in a lifetime experience ???? I bought a bottle of The Source gin at Cardona where we learned from our expert (name starts with an E) on how whisky (not whiskey!), vodka and gin are made. At Broken Heart I bought a bottle made with Quince fruit- a new experience and delicious! If you’d like to explore gin with various botanicals this is the right tour plus a beautiful scenic drive.
