Helen. Helen was our favorite part of this experience! The car was lovely and comfortable, the wine was delicious, but Helen’s knowledge of the history, culture, and wine was most impressive. She was super thoughtful and communicated everything we needed in advance. I’d come back to New Zealand just to do another tour with Helen.Darryl_m

Absolutely delightful! We had no idea what to expect and the tour far exceeded our expectations. Helen and Mark were so welcoming and knowledgeable; they shared many stories and the history of the region. Our day started with a stop at the Kaitoke Regional Park. Magical! A stop at Aston Norwood Cafe for coffee and scones was perfect after the chilly walk in the park region. We moved on to enjoy a trip over the mountain to Martinborough and enjoyed a wine tasting at Palliser. The Sauvignon Blanc was amazing! We then traveled to Tirohana Estate for a wine tasting and leisurely gourmet lunch. Our host Toby did not disappoint! We moved to Poppies for a wonderful tasting and loved the Late Harvest Riesling. We journeyed back to Wellington with a quick stop at Schoc Chocolates for a sweet ending to our tour. The day was amazing with a taste of wine, history, and the beautiful scenery; a truly wonderful experience filled with lovely memories and new friends. Thanks again, Helen and Mark!dabud69
