A great trip out of the city for wine lovers
We had the best day. We are only in Wellington for 3 nights from Australia so decided that we wanted to see some countryside and not just the city. We were not disappointed. Our driver, Steve, was fantastic and very informative. We visited 3 amazing wineries and had a quick lunch at a brewery. We thoroughly enjoyed it. A very reliable company to book through.

Fantastic service great trip
Phil was great - knowledgeable, engaging, and really helpful. The trip included three contrasting wineries which added to the enjoyment. We purchased some very nice wines which we couldn’t get elsewhere, and would highly recommend Zozo travel.

Absolutely Aweome!!
We had an amazing day!!
Everything went smoothly (including John’s driving), and the wineries were just gorgeous.
Our Driver John gave us lots of warning when it was time to move to the next place, kept us informed, he ensured everyone was safe and no man was left behind!
Thank you from the whole team!!
We will definitely be recommending Zozo travel to friends, family and other businesses for functions.

Not worth the money
John our tour guide was excellent , very kind and caring . The wine tour itself was limited
The first winery was ok with 5 tastings , would have been nicer with additional cheese added to compliment the wine
The second winery .. lunch ( optional ) was good but the guys doing the wine tasting was not interested in what ge was doing , he was just pouring the wine into the glasses and off
The last winery .. the owner wasn’t one bit interested , it felt like he didn’t want us there
All wine in each winery were not great .. unfortunately

Hi Joe. You definitely didn't take a Martinborough Winery Private Tour with us so I can't really comment on the details without more information.

Outstanding winery tour to Martinborough!
Couples
We enjoyed an outstanding winery tour with Philip, our friendly, knowledgeable guide. We appreciated that he picked us up at our hotel in Wellington and offered an informative, engaging experience. He even accommodated our request to visit Palliser Estate Winery, a fantastic producer in Martinborough. He was very well-received by all the places we visited, including a great cheese shop and deli (C'est Cheese), which underscores his reputation as a private tour operator. As a bonus, our tour was a lot more affordable than some competing companies. All in all, we would highly recommend Zozo to anyone wanting a taste of Martinborough. Thanks again, Philip!
