Liz has a fabulous host and our guide Gilbert was an absolute treasure! Couldn't recommend highly enough.” - Fi H

“First let us say Liz was a fantastic tour guide. We had our own personal tour guide in our own van. This was such a relief not to be stuck on a large tour bus like some other tours. Liz was very knowledgeable of all three vineyards we visited. Great wine tasting. Great lunch, and great other special stops. She really surprised us by buying us a pint of some of the best strawberries we have ever had. It was great to get outside of Auckland after a week of conference discussions.” - Susan & Lars
