I recently did a Kaewa Tours full day Wairarapa wine tour with Tom the Owner of Kaewa Tours. From when I first booked the tour until he dropped us off at the end of the day the experience was first class. When I first booked my tour Tom sent a personalised video message thanking me for choosing to book with Kaewa Tours. This was a great personalised customer touch which we appreciated. When Tom picked us up he did a full Health and Safety briefing and explained any potential risks or hazards we may encounter during the day. Our first winery we visited was Le Gra just north of Masterton. The owner and winemaker Nicky provided us with a beautiful platter lunch and amazing wines. Nicky’s Husband Brian is the Viticulturist and spent time with us explaining what’s involved with vine management. It was great to meet passionate owners who were happy to spend time with us. Our second winery we visited was Johner Estate in Gladstone. The drive out to Johner was very scenic and the wines did not disappoint! Kat from Johner took us through a wide range of wines and there were all very good. We finished in Martinborough where we sampled exquisite wines at Poppies and finished our full day wine tour with the very humorous Shawn Brown the Owner/Winemaker at Muirlea Rise. When Tom dropped us off he gave us a lovely gift in appreciation of booking with him which we thought was a lovely gesture. Overall it was a top notch day and we highly recommend Tom form Kaewa Tours.282tiffc

Tom was such a lovely and knowledgeable host for our tour through the Wairarapa expanse. It was obvious that he had a personal connection with each place we visited, and he passed on this admiration and delight to us. While the wine did speak for itself, we never felt rushed or unengaged throughout the course of our experience. His selections for us were varied and well-planned. Seamless and entertaining, Tom made us feel welcome, and we won't soon forget our time in the Wellington and Martinborough area.HEW2586

A long overdue review! My friend and I had an excellent full day wine tour led by Tom. He was very knowledgable and friendly. He gave us a fantasic introduction to local wines followed by tastings that were out of this world. Lunch at one of the wineries was extrmely impressive too. The surrounding areas located around the wineries are quaint and charming. We even got to check out a local bee farm! The best part was that Tom picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back off happy and so glad that we chose him as a tour guide. Tom has a great sense of humor and I highly recommend checking out this experience! This tour is wonderful from start to finish and I live in the surrounding Napa Valley area. It is a unique experience coming from a picturesque wine paradise.Seaside293534

Our wine trip was amazing! Tom was very friendly, informative and flexible. He gave us tons of information on sites along the way explaining the history and stopping for pics. We enjoyed all 3 wineries we visited and the honey farm. The lunch we had at the winery was very plentiful and flavorful. Such a delight to visit with the owners and get first hand information. After our return, he toured us around Wellington showing us the best places. I would DEFINITELY book with Kaewa Tours again! Tom did not disappoint. We are so glad we took this tour. We were on a 21 day tour of New Zealand with a tour company and had this day off to do whatever we wanted. We decided to book this one day tour and are SOOO glad we did. We liked it so much we told the tour company we were doing the long tour with that they should offer this wine tour as an optional excursion! Everyone was jealous that we had such a great tour to do that day and said if they had known they would have booked it too. All I can say in conclusion is - BOOK IT!Brittanee_R
