What others say:
"I took this trip recently and found it worked extremely well. Thanks to the clever planning of this itinerary I saw plenty of wineries throughout New Zealand in the limited time I had, and was grateful of not having to drive! I would thoroughly recommend this to wine lovers." Mr Brian Walburgh Tasting Room Manager Get Wines Direct.
This is a holiday with all the flexibility of a fly drive but with the safety of not 'drinking and driving' on wine tasting days! This is a specially designed wine lovers holiday which provides you with at least two nights in each of the major wine regions.
On the full day of your stay, you’ll be picked up from your hotel and hosted on tour that showcases the best wineries and vineyards of that region. That way you're able to enjoy your wines, and not worry about the driving for day. No one misses out and you stay safe.
Accommodation is four star plus throughout, featuring some classic wine-themed properties. Car hire, the Inter Island Ferry and two domestic airfares are also included.
