Amazing day with Darleen we enjoyed the tour enormously. The knowledge she had was first class and we did learn a lot but in a fun way! All stops were great, the passion demonstrated by the employees at each stop was first class.
We have done similar tours all around the word and this was certainly one of the best if not the best. We couldn’t recommend Hop and Grape any more. Cloudy bay and Forrest wines were particularly stand out and lunch at St Clare was beautiful and good value.

Myself and my wife booked in for a private wine tour with these guys and we absolutely loved it! Darlene was our tour guide and she was brilliant! She was so full of knowledge and made sure we had the best time. We got taken to a lot of smaller, family-owned vineyards which we loved.
Would highly recommend!

The tour was customised for our family with two children - it worked so well with four adults and two little ones. Cam gave our daughter and partner time to relax and enjoy the wine and surroundings in each place without rushing us on. It was great to get the winemaker's perspective at the first winery, to see how a small, organic company works from the vines to the bottle. Lunch was leisurely, tasting happened while we ate a delicious meal. We visited one more winery, chocolate factory, then a brewery which was a good finish for our two men. Thank you, Cam, for a great day out, for your knowledge and very well put-together tour. Highly recommended.

We visited 4 amazing wineries and a brewery.
