Welcome

LOCAL TASTING TOUR

Our tour is a little different, as it visits 4 venues , with 3 different types of liquor. Clients regularly comment that they enjoy the variation from the usual wine or beer-exclusive tastings.

CELEBRATIONS FOR FRIENDS & FAMILY

Let us supply transport & arrange venues for your family celebration, your Hens’ Party, your business Social Club outing. It’s always enjoyable to travel together as a group. We can ensure that your outing is tailored to your specific requirements relating to venue, time & budget.

ROTORUA & CRUISE-SHIP DAY TOURS

With its thermal springs, boiling mudpools, steaming fissures and geysers, Rotorua, nestled among crater lakes of crystalline colour and clarity, is a 'must see'! Experience indigenous culture with a Maori Welcome and concert, crafts such as flax-weaving and wood-carving, and see the kiwi (bird).

COROMANDEL

Indulge in fresh Coromandel flavours, along the homegrown food trail, by tasting local fare at farm gate and boutique artisan food products - NZ's green-lipped mussel farms, Coromandel Smoking Company seafood, Cathedral Cove Macadamias' range of oils, nuts & recipes for Coromandel scallops, local wines & more!

WINERY TOURS

NZ wines are stunning, and well worth travelling to, to experience & savour. Come on one of our regional winery tours, or choose the destination, yourself, for your group & we’ll suggest venues for your consideration. We guarantee you’ll have a great time!
