Private Waipara wine tour from Christchurch with Giles, luxury MPV, up to four boutique wineries, flexible lunch choices.
“My partner and I enjoyed a wonderful private winery tour. Our host looked after us really well with detailed information on all the wine as he is extremely knowledgeable, and ensuring we were comfortable and had a great spot for our lunch. We went to three great wineries, including creating a lunch at Pegasus bay from their deli offerings, and enjoyed the wine here more than other regions of NZ that we went to. Definitely recommend!”
