We did 4 wine tours in NZ and Oz on our recent trip and really enjoyed all of these. Grape Escapes is run by Greg who has a really comfy minibus, great wine knowledge and a lovely informal manner with his guests. We visited 4-5 wineries (yes, lost count after some of them) and were in a small group of... More

I booked Greg for a wine tour during our cruise stop in Napier. He was very easy to deal with and flexible on arrangements. Greg was waiting for the 6 of us when we disembarked with his very comfortable van. We had a fantastic afternoon with him visiting wineries and seeing the sites. He arranged a lovely cheese platter for... More

We had a wonderful afternoon exploring Hawkes Bays wineries without any of the stesses of deciding who was driving, where we were driving and how to get there. Greg was prompt, friendly and extremely knowlegable about wines and the Hawkes Bay region. The cheese board was lovely and the van was very comfortable to travel round in. More

Greg knows his wines and visits a wide variety of vineyards on the tour. There is often a chance to meet the Winemaker and time to enjoy the amazing scenery. Our B&B guests always come back 'tired' but happy! More

We did an afternoon half day wine tour with Grape Escape - which included 4 winery visits and included a beautiful cheese platter for the group in the grounds of Ngatarawa vineyard. The trip was great and Greg was a fantastic tour guide/host/driver. The tour was also great value, compared with other similar tours in the area. More

Greg picked me up on time at my camp site - he tailored the day to my wine taste. We visited about 8 fantastic vineyards - both well known and lesser known. Greg not only had a good rapport with the vineyards but also a great knowledge of the wines. Being on my own he was also great company. I... More

Denise did a great job of showing us some very nice local wineries, she was a very informative & entertaining host. Our only regret was that we did a half day, we'll do the full day tour next time! Would recommend this company to others, very quality experience with professional & courteous service :) More

Greg picked us up from our hotel And dropped us back there after the trip. He was an informative and cheerful guide who gave us lots of information about Napier, Hawks Bay and the local vineyards. We visited 4 vineyards and had an excellent lunch at the Black Barn winery. Thoroughly recommended! More
