Had a wonderful time exploring Martinborough and the wonderful food and wine, followed by an Olive Producer with a great tasting of foods made by her flavored Olive Oil then the going to a Beekeeper's Honey production where I learned all about the making of honey. I highly recommended going on any of Kaewa Tours

What a fabulous tour to do. It was a hit from the beginning to the end. The knowledge that Tom as on Wellington and surrounds is fantastic. He adapted the tour to suit our needs and to cover places we had missed and nothing was too much trouble. I would be more than happy to recommend Tom if you are heading to Wellington.

I honestly don't know where to begin, except at the beginning. Months before we arrived, Tom Collier, the owner of Kaewa Tours, confirmed our trip with us via email; and not just a written message, but a personalized video! When the day came for our tour, Tom met us precisely on time at our hotel. After a quick safety briefing (which was most appreciated), we began our drive over the mountains and into Martinborough. And what a fantastic drive! While in Wellington, Tom pointed out various points of interest (such as Parliament and Matiu Somes Island), and all during the trip, it was like being with a friend who was happy to show off his country. Our first stop was to Olivo, where Tom handed us to his friend John Meehan, the owner, who showed off his beautiful olive tree grove. He was incredibly informative in describing how he and his wife started growing olive trees in this area and then was kind enough to share many of the olive oils they created (who knew vanilla infused olive oil could taste so good?!? Made me want ice cream!). We then headed to Poppies Winery, a true highlight of our entire time in NZ. After tasting some truly excellent wines, we share a magnificent lunch plate and drank wines while sitting next to the grape fields. An epic experience. After lunch, it was off to Greytown Honey, to learn all about beekeeping, collecting honey, and, best of all, tasting it! First time trying Manuka Honey and, boy do I get it now. Fantastic! On the way back to Wellington, we stopped by the Kaitoke Regional Park, which was so incredibly peaceful and beautiful. It's also where the scenes for Rivendell were filmed for the LOTR trilogy! Lastly, we took some extra time and capped off the day with a pint at Fortune Favours, a local craft brewery with some very, very good beers. A day or two after our tour, Tom emailed me a link to all of the pictures that he took during our tour--knowing he was memorializing our day allowed us to truly engage with our guides and just enjoy each experience. And many of these pictures we will treasure. We cannot recommend a day with Tom enough. Wherever he may take you, it will, I assure you, be a great and memorable day. We certainly will be sure to book another trip with Tom whenever we are able to revisit Windy Welly. Thanks again, Tom.

We did the Martinborough Full Day Food & Wine Tour a few days ago, and we are still buzzing! It was such a great day out! our favourite thing was seeing the Bee's at Greytown Honey! Tom was an excellent guide and made the day just perfect for us. His attention to detail and all the little "extras" definately did not go unnoticed. We highly recommend a Kaewa Tour to anyone wanting to explore the beautiful region.
