Highly Enjoyable Tour
Phil was an excellent host with a vast amount of local knowledge and an all round general nice guy! A very informative gentleman who is happy to answer your questions about anything from the local areas to where the best place to shop is. A pleasure to have his company for the day.
Our small group was well informed on our journey about early settlers to the area and local place names and why they were named or who they were named after.
The wineries we visited were truly unique as their wines were only available to purchase via the cellar door or online - no supermarket wines on this tour!
Each winery had a great back story, which Phil could foretell with full details. He knew what type of grapes they used, where they were planted right through to the vineyards planting regimes. So much knowledge!
Everyone was treated with respect and Phil has a great connection with the vineyard owners and their staff which makes for an even more enjoyable trip.
I highly recommend this Tour and Phil. I will definitely be back!

Amazing day in Martinborough
Feb 2023 • Couples
Our interaction with Zozo was super with all our questions, time changes and added guests. Simon our guide was just wonderful and knowledgeable. His driving skills through the mountains was flawless. His knowledge of the area was an extra bonus. The wineries ZOZO picked were wonderful on so many levels— the tastings, the helpful sommeliers and the VIEWS. We unexpectedly lunched at Poppies because where we were to go for a cheese tasting was closed as was our third winery. All was wonderful and I can’t say enough kind words of our hosts-the New Zealand people are jus beyond gracious, kind and lovely. Thank you Phil and Simon for giving us a lovely day!

Thanks Lois! Glad you enjoyed the day on your Martinborough Winery Private Tour. Simon made the choice to offer you lunch at Poppies instead of C'est Cheese (which is currently closed now on Tuesdays). Glad you enjoyed it in.

A great day in Martinborough
Had such a great day visiting three winery’s with our tour guide Tom! All of the winery’s had amazing wines to offer, the weather was so sunny and warm felt like a real summers day.
We had a group of four of us staying in Wellington city & were picked up from the isite which was only a two minute walk from our accommodation, on the drive over we stopped at a couple of lookouts and a local cheese shop, our tour guide knew a lot about the area and could answer any questions we asked, he was really friendly and super easy to talk to. We highly enjoyed this day trip and would happily do it again and recommend to anyone else that may be thinking of doing it.

A good tour spoiled by being rushed.
Mar 2023 • Couples
Good views and commentary along the way. Excellent first stop but felt very rushed from then on. Third stop involved very little information about the wine as very busy staff offered us three samples to taste while trying to serve lunch to a very busy restaurant.
Unfortunately, we had to depart before some people in our group finished their lunch. On the whole we enjoyed the tour, but it was too rushed and the guide was rather fond of the sound of his own voice.

Hi Allie, Sorry to hear your experience with was not up to standard. I've made a note of your response and we will make some changes to provide a little extra time for the whole experience. Admittedly a wine tour on Easter Sunday is always a little bit hectic as the staff at each location are working under different rules with regards to providing alcohol and food. With everyone legally requiring a meal due to the trading laws the staff at the final stop were under the pump which was an issue for your tour specifically rather than a general problem. We should have forseen that though and dealt with it timewise a little better. Apologies for that. It sounds like your drive guides enthusiasm for the local history of the area may have been a bit much. I'll take your feedback on board and let him know.

Perfect day out - a must do on any trip to Wellington!
Jun 2021
We did this tour on our long weekend trip to Wellington and found it an excellent way to spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon.

The tour guide Phil was excellent, he emailed shortly after booking to confirm pickup details and messaged us when he arrived at our hotel, right on time. Tour groups are intentionally small, there were 7 in our group which was the perfect size.

Phil was extremely knowledgeable about the region and provided excellent commentary on the picturesque drive. The stop at the summit of the Remutaka Ranges was great and provided an excellent opportunity for taking photos.

In Martinborough we stopped at three wineries; Poppies, Moy Hall and Te Kairanga. Each stop was great and offered a different selection of wines (and at the last stop, a gin!) to try. We were fortunate to have a nice warm day and got to spend lots of time enjoying the sun. Although lunch isn't included in the tour there is the opportunity to order food at one of the wineries, the stops are certainly long enough to allow sufficient time for a meal. I think it works better this way, as those who might have a big breakfast before the tour can have something light, whilst others can go for something more substantial.

Phil was happy to customise the tour and by popular vote of the group we switched our stop at C'Est Cheese for the Wine Bank in Martinborough town centre instead, for one last glass of wine before making our way back to Wellington.

The tour began at 10am and we were back at our hotel by around 3:30pm. Although there are other tours which go for longer I think that the length of this tour is pretty good as is. We didn't feel rushed at any of the stops, there was plenty of time for tasting and purchasing (for those who wanted to) and it meant we got back to Wellington at a reasonable enough time to go for a leisurely walk around town before having dinner.

I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun afternoon of sightseeing, wine tasting and good company. Thank you Phil and Zozo Travel!

Get out of Wellington city and explore quaint old towns with glorious wineries over the Remutakas
We’d highly recommend tripping over the Remutakas with Phil. A local who is passionate and knowledgeable - by the time we got dropped off it felt we’d known Phil for ages.
C’est Cheese for some goodies to take back to our hotel, beautiful wine from Poppies, Mot Hall, Te Kairanga wineries I really wished we had gone with a full day.

A perfectly curated tour
Apr 2023 • Couples
We really found this tour to be valuable because we learned so much more than we would have on our own. The tour guide, Simon, was affable, forthcoming and very knowledgeable, plus a skilled driver on the windy road (glad I wasn’t driving!) We stopped for lunch at Moy Hall for a fabulous neal (extra charge). Each of the wineries (Margrain, Moy Hall and Muirlea) had different treatments of the wine and the presentation but they were all delicious. A perfectly curated tour. Thank you, Zozo!

Fabulous tour, despite the drizzle!
Our trip was full of witty banter thanks to the Kiwi version of Louis Theroux, who was just as sexy! Phil knows his stuff regarding wine and the region.
As well as the interesting vineyards, we visited a couple of local stores and left feeling we knew much about the Martinborough region.
Highly recommended. A well worth 5 star experience.

Guide was excellent and helpful
Mar 2020
Phil picked us up on time. As he drove through Wellington heading up to Martinborough he gave a very knowledgeable commentary. Stopping off at the cheese shop hit the spot as we got a baguette, cheese and some cured meat to eat while we were driving at our own cost. There was a fare on the day we went so in and around the township was busy but didn't affect our tour. Phil was very helpful with everyone on the tour and knowledgeable about the wines on show. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Phil for a great day out.

Brilliant Tour!
Oct 2022
We had an excellent day. Great for people who a quick visit Martinborough. Got to visit 3 different wineries (B.Wine, Moy Hall and Muirlea Rise). Had an awesome lunch at Moy Hall. Driver was engaging and informative.
As most have mentioned, timing was quite tight and we didn't get time to visit cheese shop which was planned. Understandable because of the driving time but personally I would quite happily pay more to have an extended tour. For our tour it was $150 for 5 hours, so would be willing to pay extra ~$30 for another hour (to make
it actually half day!) and that would ease up some of the time spent at places and also give time for occasional attraction stops during the drive.
