CJ was a sensation host, very friendly and knowledgeable. For The Best of Both Worlds half day tour, there was plenty to see (and taste!) as we toured 3 vineyards and had a great lunch at NZ's oldest pub. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to get a quick but highly enjoyable tour of Nelson's wineries 🍷.

Thank you for your excellent review David & Vicky, great meeting you both and sharing stories! I love this time of year with all the fresh hops to smell & ripe grapes 🍇 to taste. Small groups of two easily get around the cellar doors and NZs oldest pub comfortably on a Friday. Enjoy your trip to Picton tomorrow. All the best CJ

Did the best of both worlds tour with CJ and 2 other couples. Really well organised from start to finish with AC minibus bringing us to 4 wineries around Nelson. Very much enjoyed the tour with CJ providing good information on the way - would recommend to those looking for a chill day-out with some great wineries along the way!!

CJ you were an absolute highlight to our holiday! A brilliant host, with considerable knowledge of the region and NZs wine. My partner and I had such a fun day, gained a true appreciation of the region’s wine and history. Thanks to you, we now consider ourselves quite the connoisseurs 😉
Cannot recommend CJ enough!

CJ was an excellent host. He was a brilliant communicator and made sure we knew exactly where to meet him. On arrival he went through the itinerary and timings and offered us the opportunity to visit the cheese shop should we wish. Our favourite was the Flaxmore winery but we enjoyed all of them. The lunch was amazing with great service and a great pub. Thanks CJ for a fabulous day.

CJ is very personable and provided a good introduction to the wines produced in the Moutere Hills, Tasman Coastal and Waimea Plains regions with visits and tastings at four wineries. A good variety of varietals and styles from boutique and small wineries were available for tasting and both CJ as well as the Vineyard staff were very good at answering questions and providing in depth information about the vineyards and wines. We also were able to order lunch at one of our stops and had an excellent authentic Italian wood oven pizza that was excellent paired with our wines. A very enjoyable day that we recommend for wine lovers interested in tasting from this region while visiting.

CJ is a nice guy who arrived on time to collect us. He chatted casually during the drive to pick up the other 4 guests and gave us all a run down of the plan for our day.
We visited four different vineyards, enjoying tastings in all. The tastings were ran by the staff at the vineyards. All good fun and interesting stuff.
The lunch at the third winery was also very nice (not included in the tour price.)
Would definitely recommend this tour as you get to see a range of unique wineries.

CJ really made the tour for us. He was so informative and made sure that we had a really fun and yet relaxed day. We went to some great vineyards and the lunch at Foresters was amazing. It was the best tour ever. He also was reliable and punctual and listened to the desires of the group. Everybody's needs were met. Thanks, CJ

From pick up to drop off, CJ was an excellent driver and host, escorting us around four very different wineries. We enjoyed 22 different tastings between the four wineries, as well as a fantastic lunch at Forsters. CJ was able to talk knowledgeablely about the region, as well as wine and the wine makers of the Tasman.

We went on the half day Nelson Wine Tour and we were very much not disapointed. Had a bit of luck so it was only us two and the guide/driver.
Wine: Tasted about 22 wines, all of them really good and we bought a bottle of 13 of them. Tasting in a very relaxed and casual way.
Guide: Knowledgeable and nice. Made our journey something special.
Lunch: In the middle we got the chance to buy some lunch in one of the wineyards. Really good locally produced products.
Excellent.

Hi Klas & Annika
Thank you for choosing me and your excellent review. It was really nice being able to give you a personal experience and when you told me you liked Lord Of The Rings I knew exactly what to show you.
Have a wonderful journey down south and keep your eyes sharp as you might see some Hobbits. Hahaha
Best regards

Picked up on time in a clean van. We visited 3 great wineries over the day.
CJ was very knowable about the area.
The wine makers at each site gave us the time to chat and tell us about each wine. We didn't feel rushed with our tastings.
We enjoyed our day out.
Thx CJ
