Ross was fantastic! Picked us up from our Air BNB right on time, did a great job of explaining where we were, and kept it interesting. All the places we went to knew him by name and so it did feel like we got the 'very special' treatment. The tastings were ample, well thought out and extremely enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to see what else Napier has to offer!

Thank you, Ross! My husband and I booked the tour expecting a group but ended up as our own private tour!! The balance of the group for this particular tour, cancelled. For all those wondering and questioning if Napier, Hawkes Bay and the wine tourism is up and running, it definitely is and your support is needed and greatly appreciated! You won’t be disappointed and for now the lack of crowds is an extra special experience for you. Ross made our afternoon informative and a truly exceptional experience. We really enjoyed the wine tours at Mission Estates, the Urban Winery, and Askerne along with the delicious charcuterie. The gin distillery at the beautiful Art Nouveau National Tobacco Company Building was a highlight. The gin was exceptional and the tasting inside this period decorated tasting room made a perfect touch to the outing.

My partner and I decided to go on our first wine tasting tour and this trip with Ross did not disappoint. This has set the bar up high. Wine, Gin & Beer tasting, couldn't get any better than this. Ross was amazing, he gave us a summary of the tour and a bit of Napier's history. It was a small group so it was easy to talk & mingle with everyone. Highly recommended for sure!

We had a great day with Ross who took us to 3 great wine tastings and a gin tasting at the Mission. Ross was easy to communicate with prior to our excursion as we were concerned about weather and cruise ship timing
