This wine tour with Phil Parker to Waihke Island was just sensational. Phil is accomodating, knowledgeable, personable and fun to be with. Can't say enough good things about our day on the "wine island"!! He even selected a top notch restaurant for lunch!! More

My husband and I were hosted by Phil when we went to New Zealand on our honeymoon in November 2011. Phil is a fantastic and knowledgable guy when it comes to wine.

My wife & I spent a lovely day with Phil visiting 3 wineries North/NW of Auckland.

He'll show you the breathtaking... More
