The guide leads you through the business district and residential Art Deco streets, drives you to Te Mata Peak at 399 meters for views across the Heretunga Plains, then brings you to the owner's private gardens for complimentary wine tasting—six wines total, from whites and reds to a late harvest sweet—with New Zealand cheese and biscuits. Live English commentary, bottled water and air-conditioned transport are included throughout.Is it for me?The tour picks you up from your hotel or cruise ship, so you don't need a rental car or local transport to reach the starting point—a practical advantage if you're arriving by ship or staying without a vehicle.
