Agréable tour dirigée par Tere , beaucoup d’information et d’échange A l’écoute de nos demandes Durée 5 heures et l’on n’a pas vu le temps passé Visite le 14 octobre 2025 Philippe et Marjo (France)Posted on Peter WrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today we undertook a winery tour guided by the wonderful Tere! Or at least that's what we thought we had booked. But oh no, it was so much more!! Tere gave us a great overview of the history of Napier, the earthquake and the rebuilding. Our wine tour was thoughtfully restricted to just three wineries and we agreed with her that with any more, the memories of the wines and their various attributes would just be lost in a brain fog! You could not have asked for a more friendly and knowledgeable guide. We would thoroughly recommend her tour, we had a great day!Posted on Billy KiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing time. Tere was incredibly knowledgeable about the wine and New Zealand. She was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely go again when we are back in the area.
