Zozo Travel - Tours of Wellington. Scenic, Winery, Brewery and Foodie Tours: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Zozo Travel Tours – Scenic, Winery, Brewery & Goodie Tour We had an absolutely fantastic full-day tour with Zozo Travel Tours. There were three of us, and it genuinely felt like a private tour — relaxed, flexible, and very personalised. Our guide Phil was excellent: friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating throughout the day. Nothing felt rushed, and he made sure we were enjoying each stop and comfortable with the pace. The day included a great mix of scenic coastal and countryside views, a delicious winery lunch and food stops, and a fun chocolate stop where we even played a game, which added a really nice, unexpected touch. One of the highlights was seeing hundreds of seals along the coast — an amazing wildlife experience. Dinner was also included, which made the day feel very complete and well thought out. It was such an easy and enjoyable way to experience the region without having to worry about driving, planning, or timing. Highly recommend Zozo Travel Tours if you’re looking for a well-run, personalised tour with great scenery, food, and local experiences.
Wow, thanks very much for the wonderfully detailed review. I enjoyed hosting the group and am delighted to hear the Wine and Wild Coast Tour of the Wairarapa was so well received!
Fantastic experience: A brilliant day out on the From Cave to Coast Wellington highlights tour. Our guide Gary was amazing. His knowledge of the area and the stories were great. Plenty of opportunities for photos and awesome scenery. Great lunch also! Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see all the best parts of Wellington in a few hours.
Great to hear, thanks Angela. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your review and Gary will be delighted with your very kind words! Cheers.
Fantastic experience: We joined the From Cave to Coast Wellington Highlights Tour with Zozo Travel on October 16, 2025, and had an amazing experience. We happened to be the only two guests that day, so it felt like a private tour. Our guide Phil was outstanding - an excellent communicator with deep local knowledge about Wellington’s history, nature, and culture. We visited a mix of iconic sights and hidden gems, from scenic coastlines to charming neighborhoods, all at a comfortable pace. The tour was well-organized, relaxing, and gave us a real feel for what makes Wellington special. We’ll definitely book their Martinborough Wine Tour next time we’re back in New Zealand! Highly recommend Zozo Travel to anyone looking for a personalized, high-quality Wellington day tour with a knowledgeable local guide.
Great to hear, Yuma. I enjoyed hosting you both for the day in our wonderful city. Thanks for comprehensive feedback and wonderful review
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic day out in Martinborough, hosted by Simon. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and the vineyards in the area. We did the 5.5 hour tour that visited 3 wineries - Poppies, Moy Hall and Palliser Estate. Personally liked the wine the best at Poppies and Moy Hall. The latter was where we had lunch (extra expense) which was DELICIOUS and a great lookout over the vineyard. Would recommend to anyone visiting Wellington to experience the outer suburbs :) thank you Simon!
Thanks for the wonderful feedback, Caroline. Much appreciated. Your kinds words will be passed on to Simon who will be delighted. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: A brilliant day with Phil on his all day tour from Wellington NZ. The quick walks at the national parks, the food, the rugged coastlines, the seals, the walk up to the lighthouse, great expert information (without nonstop talking - sone tour guides feel they have to fill every silence) . . did I mention the food . . . beautiful local produce . . don't miss this one.
Very much my pleasure, Peter! I enjoyed hosting you both and it's great to hear you got so much enjoyment from our Wine and Wild Coast Tour to the Wairarapa and Cape Palliser. Thanks for your very kind words and feedback. Cheers.
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic afternoon out with Phil on the 3 brewery tour of Wellington. Phil took note of our favourite beers and helped with recommendations along the way. The Garage Project boys gave great insights and knowledge during their tasting, Baylands has a wonderfully huge selection, and Panhead set amongst the awesome Brewtown was just an amazing setup. Would absolutely recommend Phil and Zozo travel for an honest and personal experience.
Thanks Brad! It was great to host you both on our Craft Brewery Half Day Tour of Wellington and the surrounding regions. Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback and for you wonderful endorsement. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic 5.5-hour guided tour with ZoZo Travel over the Remutaka Ranges to Martinborough, one of New Zealand’s premier wine regions. Simon was our driver and was very accommodating throughout the day, making the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable. The tour included scenic drives, cellar door tastings at three of the region’s best wineries, and visits to local artisan establishments like C’est Cheese for cheese tastings. What really stood out was Simon’s wealth of knowledge. He provided lots of interesting information about the Remutaka hill and other landscape features we encountered, which really enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the region. ZoZo Travel clearly operates with a personal touch that sets them apart. Simon had excellent suggestions for coffee stops and shopping opportunities, showing he truly knows the area well. The small group tour format made it feel intimate and special. We would recommend ZoZo travel to anyone wanting to use a tour company with a reputation for excellence.
Thanks very much for the wonderful feedback. Delighted to hear Simon was able to look after you so well and you enjoyed the day out. Cheers
Fantastic experience: Athena is the name worth our praises here, providing such good service through out the half day foodie tour, which we had some wonderful time, with the only 3 of us in the tour, she did even offer a discount on an extra wine yard tasting which turns out to be so enjoyable, we had a great day out ! Zozo is the place for you !
Thanks for the great feedback, Joe. Always happy to hear such good things. Athena is star for sure!
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed our half day in Martinborough with Simon as our guide, Simon traces his family back to the first European settlers and has a wealth of information to share about New Zealand and the immediate area in addition to the three wineries we visited. The tastings were pleasant with knowledgeable representatives of each vineyard. There was no pressure to buy wine but we still bought bottles at two of the three. Now have to figure out how to get them back to the states
Thanks Steve! Much appreciated for the feedback. Delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour. Good luck returning home with the wine in one piece.
Fantastic experience: Great tour Phil was very informative as he lead the tour. Well thought out tour. Thank you.
Thanks Sandra! Glad you enjoyed the day out and as always it was a great pleasure to host. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: Had a great tour of Wellington NZ with Athena of Zozo Travel. We had a wide variety of scenic location around the coast and to mountain tops. We had a very good lunch at The Chocolate Fish and continued on to get breath taking photos along the coast. We even came across a large pod of dolphins feeding in the surf for bonus photos and video. Athena gave us her all and provided excellent commentary throughout the 6 hr trip. A great trip to get a broad view of Wellington! Thank you Athena!
Thanks for the great feedback and wonderful photos, Bruce. Can't beat Welling on a good day. Much appreciated. Athena will be delighted to hear your very kind words!
Fantastic experience: Phil with Zozo Travel was an excellent host and guide for this half day wine tasting tour from Wellington. Very accommodating with coordinating our pickup/dropoff as well as knowledgeable, funny, & efficient. He offered a picture stop at the top of Remutaku Pass during our scenic drive and also squeezed in an extra stop at a great local cheese shop after our tastings at 3 different wineries in the beautiful vineyard region of Martinborough. We had a great time. 10/10 would recommend!
Thanks David. Pleasure hosting you both for the day!
Fantastic experience: We got to see so much of Wellington, more than I imagined we would. The Weta cave was interesting and we enjoyed the lunch stop. Gary was very engaging and stopped at lots of beautiful beach & view points for great pictures. I left my purse in the van and he was kind enough to return it to our cruise port before our ship left. Highly recommend this company.
Thanks for the great feedback, Sandra. Glad you enjoyed the day out with Gary!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing day today with the Cave to Coast Wellington Highlights Tour. Fantastic tour with a wonderful guide (Athena) - thanks so much Athena, I loved our chats throughout the day - you are the best. I would highly recommend this tour and Zozo Tours. A+++ And Mia, thanks for helping me with my change of days for the booking.
Thanks for the great feedback. Always delighted to hear guests have enjoyed the tour. Your kind words will be passed onto both Athena and Mia. Much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: If you want to get a true Wellington experience, we highly recommend Zozo Travel tours. Phil, our guide and the owner was fantastic! He is very knowledgeable about the area, had lots of stories to tell and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a very pleasant experience. We had originally only booked one tour, the Cave to Coast, we enjoyed it so much we booked the Wine and wild Coast tour for later in the week. We saw a little bit of everything from spectacular mountain views to up close views of the coast complete with seals basking in the sun. We enjoyed delicious food and wine that we may not have had on our own. Give Phil a call, you will make a new friend and you definitely won't be disappointed! Doreen and Terry, Ontario, Canada
That's all very kind, Doreen. Thanks very much. It was an absolute pleasure to host you both across both days. Hope you enjoy the rest of your NZ experience.
Fantastic experience: Excellent tours and very nice owner. Both the "Wine & Wild Coast Tour" and the "Craft Brewery Tour" are great.
Thanks Daniel!
Fantastic experience: Had a winery tour of martinborough with Simon as our guide/driver. Very knowledgeable regarding the history of the wellington region. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the great feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour!
Fantastic experience: We went for the " from the cave to the Coast Tourr". There are 6 people in our group. Our guide was Gary, he was very knowledgeable & informative during the tour.. Lunch was at the fish chocolate the atmosphere was friendly, the staff kind and although it was very busy, the service was quick and the food was delicious.
Thanks for the review, Rose Marie. I appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts. Glad to hear you enjoyed the day!
Fantastic experience: We had a fabulous time on the 4 hour Craft Beer Tour. Phil was great. Highly recommend
Thanks Suzanne. It was my pleasure to host!
Fantastic experience: We booked the half day beer tour and highly recommend it! The stops were eclectic and the beers were well done. Phil was a fantastic host and cricket tutor! He understood his guest preferences and tailored the tour accordingly. Professional; great communication - would definitely book with them again!
Thanks Jane!
It was my pleasure to host you both. Glad you enjoyed the evening out. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: Completed the Wairarapa Wine/Cheese/Chocolate tour today. Tour guide Simon was a very careful and considerate driver. He gave a great commentary on the history of the area and the wine growing industry. We visited 3 wineries in Martinborough and had a great lunch at Moy Hall. Then on to Greytown for chocolate tasting and to Featherston for cheese tasting. A thoroughly great experience!
Thanks for the review and the great feedback!
Fantastic experience: My Family and I chose the Wine and Wild Coast Tour, with Phil being our awesome guide for the day. Knowledgeable at the places he brought us to and looks outs for his clients!! A MUST AND WORTH every penny!!
Thanks for the wonderful review Keith. Great to hear you and the family enjoyed the full day out. It was my pleasure to host you all!
Fantastic experience: We went on the Wairarapa Foodie Tour, tantalize your taste buds! - Full Day Private Tour. It was fun and educational. Philip was our guide and was very informative and fun! We tend to ask questions-sometimes off the wall-and Philip rolled with it! You could tell Philip built relationships with the owners of the locations we stopped at. He also had alternative options just in case we weren’t up for say the craft beer tastings and took us to a winery instead. We also loved the fact he supported the smaller businesses-as we are small business owners and always try to support them wherever we go. From the cheese to the wine and fabulous lunch at the winery to the olive oil tastings and dare I say chocolate tastings (I am personally not a chocolate eater but the tastings were fun) we enjoyed the day, the conversation and the company. I don’t think you can go wrong with a group tour either-as we wound up running into the group tour at each location and it made for some fun times! Thank you Philip-we truly enjoyed ourselves!
Thanks for the great feedback, Cheryl! It was a pleasure to have both of you with me for that day. It was enjoyable for me also!
Fantastic experience: Phil was such a lovely guide on our 10-hour tour. Our whirlwind tour is best for those who don't have too much time in the city but want to see the highlights - we stopped at a few national parks (LOTR film sites!), had lunch + tasting at a lovely boutique winery, spotted some seals, stopped at the cape, climbed up a lighthouse, and ended the day at Royal Hotel with a beautiful dinner. the small and intimate group also added to the experience. 20/10 recommend just for Phil's witty comments.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback Ann. Very kind words! Much appreciated. I'm glad you both had such a wonderful experience on our Wine and Wild Coast Tour.
Fantastic experience: We had an absolutely fabulous time on on our wine tour with Zozo Travel last month and especially with Philip as our guide. He was quite knowledgeable about the region and the wines we tasted. It was a last minute booking for us and turned out to be one of the best decisions of our time in New Zealand.
Thanks for the wonderful review Dee. It was my pleasure hosting you for the day and I'm delighted to hear that the day was so enjoyable for you!
Fantastic experience: Booked the half day Martinborough food tour and value for my money. Our tour guide Phil was knowledgeable and entertaining. Among the 3 tasting stops, my favorite would be the artisan chocolate store. Will definitely recommend to my friends and relatives if they decided to check out Wellington. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words and wonderful feedback. Glad you enjoyed our Martinborough Foodie Half Day Tour. It was my pleasure to host you both for the tour.
Fantastic experience: Amazing tour!
Thanks Morgan! Glad you enjoyed your (half) day out with us. Thanks for leaving your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Oliver was a great guide! We also had a fun group of people from all over the world in our van. It was a really fun day. The lunch spot we stopped at was an unexpected surprise. There were only a few choices of tapas-style dishes so our expectations might have been a bit low, but the food was exquisite! The presentation was beautiful and everything was super delicious. Everyone in our group commented about how much they liked the food. The "cheese" part of the tour was a bit underwhelming, but everything else was great. Oliver gave us a good variety of different wines for our three tastings and he was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of NZ as well. Recommended!
Great to hear you enjoyed the day out in Martinborough. Your wonderful feedback will be passed onto the team. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: It was a great ladies day out, our host (Jewish chap) was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He made an extra effort for one of the other tourists from Australia who had come all this way to visit her great grandmother's birthplace in Greytown. This just made her day and ticked an important piece of history off her bucket list.
Thanks for the great feedback and delighted to hear Aaron looked after you so well!
Positive experience: Fabulous wine tour. Great organisation.
Thanks for the review, Hilary. Glad you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: The Cave to Coast Wellington Highlights Tour. What a great experience. Tour guide Michael made the tour entertaining and fun. It’s a was a day fully interesting sights and local history. I can highly recommend this tour.
Thanks Maureen. Delighted to hear you enjoyed the day. Lucky with some great weather too!
Your great feedback about Michael will be passed on to him and he will be chuffed I'm sure!
Fantastic experience: We thoroughly enjoyed the Zozo experience from beginning to end. The booking was quick and any information we needed was met with timely responses, allowing us to make our decision without effort. Payments were easy and the communication was exactly as anyone should expect. On the day of our excursion, we were picked up on time in a clean vehicle. Our driver for the day was very communicative, great company and very knowledged about the region. Martinborough was such a beautiful little town and the Poppies and Moy Hall great. Our favourite was Moy Hall - it has such a wonderful ambience. The food at Poppies was delicious. B Wine was somewhat 'rustic' and didn't have the feel of a true winery - as we sat on old chairs in knee length grass outside a hut, listening to the dulcet tones of a lawn mower, however the wine was nice. I would certainly book again for a whole day tour, particularly to spend more time at other wineries and ensure we could have time to ensure we could walk around the little town of Martinborough!
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, Melinda. Much appreciated. Always good to hear direct comments about each winery experience so we can get a feel for what people enjoy.
Cheers!
Fantastic experience: I’m really happy with Zozo’s services. I found it is a very responsive operator, and all my doubts prior to the trip to set he pickup details were answered in great timing. This was valuable and helpful to me because I did the tour alone and I felt safe, plus, reinforced that I made a very good decision choosing this company. Phil, our tour guide, is a lovely person and highly knowledgeable about his matter. He made our experience very fun, interesting and unforgettable. PS: I did the half day wine tour, from 10 am to 3 pm. Hotel pick up and drop off. We had great time to enjoy every activity we were doing. Great selection of places to visit. Many thanks! Ceci
Thanks for the great review Ceci. Your positive feedback is much appreciated! Delighted to hear you enjoyed your Martinborough Winery Tour so much.
Fantastic experience: Been meaning to write this review for a while, sorry for the delay! Me and my partner visited in June for his birthday. We did the Craft brewery tour, it was intimate, relaxed and we got to try many different ales from a a variety of breweries. As it was just us, Phil was flexible with the tour and catered it to what we wanted. We enjoyed it so much we joined the vineyard tour the next day. This was a lot of fun and a beautiful scenic tour with lovely people. Thanks again Phil, we appreciate your hospitality.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. It was my pleasure hosting you on both days and glad you to hear you enjoyed the experiences. Hope all is well!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic tour with a great combination of delicious food/wine paired with amazing views and sights. Highlights were the ocean views and seals. Phil was also a very knowledgeable and amazing guide.
Thanks for the review, Kyle! Our Wine and Wild Coast Tour is always a popular one and I'm glad you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Phil . I must say, I was not sure what I was getting myself into. You made the trip just so awesome, your knowledge about locations and wines just made everything interesting. It was a stressfree mini trip that I want to do again. The wines were just so delicious and well presented to us.
Thanks for the great feedback Cory. It was my pleasure having you and Angel on tour. Delighted the trip exceeded your expectations!
Fantastic experience: Just had an amazing Winery Tour through Martinborough with Phil! Excellent tour guide, so knowledgeable and awesome to talk to. Started at B.Wine, so picturesque, best shared lunch and tasting at Moy Hall, gorgeous reds at Muir Lea Rise! Ended with a visit to C'est Cheese mmmmm Thanks Phil!! Highly recommended
Thanks for the great review, Shannon. It was an enjoyable day hosting you on our Martinborough Winery Tour. Great to hear the experience was so memorable for you both!
Fantastic experience: Excellent, well managed tour with Phil. Loved the cheese, winery, food, olive oil and chocolate at local businesses. It was a full and very enjoyable day.
Thanks for the review Cathy. Glad you had an enjoyable day! It was a pleasure having you both on tour with us!
Fantastic experience: Booked a half day wine tour to Martinborough with Phil as driver and host. He brought the group together and entertained and educated us. His choices of wineries and the structure of the tour were outstanding - highly recommended
Thanks for the great feedback and review, David. Much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Phil, our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable and clearly had a passion for all areas where this tour goes. He made sure to get to know us and made the tour very specific to our interests- choosing a winery that suited our taste- my partner loves his red wines and Phil catered for this! We were in Wellington for a short period and this tour gave us an opportunity to see the surrounding areas without hiring a car and get a taste of the three most important things in life: cheese, chocolate and wine! We would definitely be back to Wellington and will be contacting Phil for another tour- his full day tour sounds amazing!! Thanks you so much!
Thanks for the great review Kirsty and for taking the time to leave such positive feedback! I'm glad you and Jorge enjoyed our Martinborough Foodie Half Day Tour. You guys are welcome back anytime for the full day experience. Thanks for being such enjoyable guests to host.
Fantastic experience: Fun day out with Phil on the half day martinbourgh wine tour! Lunch at Moy Hall wines was delicious! Great choice of wineries Phil will take you to. Highly recommend it! Easy travel as he picked us up from our motel
Thanks for the great review, Aimee. Delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day. It was a pleasure to have you all with me on tour. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: Must do tour. The tour was amazing, the wine was amazing and so are the cheese and chocolate. Phil was great. So much information. Next time I'm in Wellington I'm going again.
Thanks for the glowing review Lisa, much appreciated. Looking forward to hosting you again on your next visit.
Fantastic experience: Honestly this was the best experience, as a beginner to wine it really was enjoyable and gave me an idea of what wines I liked. So even if you know nothing of wine it’s definitely worth it. Also our tour guide was super nice and knowledgeable
Thanks for the positive review Mary. Always a pleasure introducing these wonderful wines to people.
Delighted to hear you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time and leant lots. Met so many lovely people who showcased their products very well. Phil was an excellent tour guide and it was really well organized. Would highly recommend.
Thanks for the positive feedback and taking the time to leave your review. Glad you enjoyed our Taste Buds Tour: Petone!
Fantastic experience: Phil was a great host. Very personable, and explained a lot of history around Wellington. Highly recommended
Thanks Karl. Much appreciated. Delighted to hear you enjoyed our wonderful city.
Fantastic experience: Had a great day out with Phillip on the Wine and Wild Coast tour. The day contains a great mix of activities, of course the winery’s of Martinborough were the main draw card, and they didn’t disappoint. The food at Moy Hall was also fantastic. Heading to the coast to check out the seal colony and then onto climb the steps the Cape Palliser Lighthouse was a great way to then feel like we had earned the massive feed of Lake Ferry Hotel’s famous fish and chips for dinner. Phil was knowledgeable, accomodating and well organised. The pick up and drop off to our hotel made the tour extremely easy to access as the only then we needed to remember was to take a jacket for the windy west coast. The trip is a great way to enjoy good food, good wines, and a mix of great sights across the bottom of NZ’s North Island
Thanks for the comprehensive review Russell, much appreciated. Sounds like the day was both enjoyable and memorable which is great to hear. Cheers
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed our time! John was such a great tour guide and great company in general! Definitely would do it again!
Thanks for the great review, Ashley. Delighted you enjoyed the day and we'd be thrilled to have you back any time!
Fantastic experience: Such a great trip! Phil at Zozo is really knowledgeable about the region and is such a fun host. The vineyards we visited were amazing and well worth the visit! Highly recommend Zozo and a trip to Martinborough!
Thanks for the great review Abby! It was my pleasure having you on tour and as always delighted to hear the trip was such a success for you.
Fantastic experience: Wine & Wild Coast Tour with Phillip the owner was simply one of the best tours we have done! He picked us up right from the Wellington port and we had a 10 hour tour with him seeing a good part of the southern eastern coast of the North Island. We drove through the countryside of New Zealand and visited a winery vineyard and ate at their fabulous restaurant Poppies in Martinborough! It was very very good and the surrounding area was beautiful! We visited the Rimutaka crossing and took a short hike over a swinging bridge to see some birds and nature reserve. We also visited the beautiful Putnanguira Scenic Reserve. We stopped by a cheeseshop, and chocolate shop where we did some sampling and taste testing. Then he drove us to the fur seal colony where we were able to spend time observing the seals in their natural habitat. Onto the Cape Palliser lighthouse to climb all 252 steps to the top! We ended the tour with a very nice dinner at The Royal Hotel’s Brac and Bow in Featherston! All in all it was a great trip which I highly recommend and the van Phillip picked us up in was extremely comfortable and he was very accommodating to stop and let me get any pictures I had wanted to get along the way. This was a very very pretty drive around the southern coast of New Zealand! Thanks Phil for the best Wellington trip for our family!
Thanks for the comprehensive review, Stacy. Amazing! It was a pleasure to have and the family on board with us for the tour and I'm delighted to have been able to provide you with such an enjoyable experience.
Fantastic experience: Great tour. We loved it. Phil was highly professional and knowledgeable.

Thanks Ian. Your review is much appreciated. Delighted to hear you enjoyed our Martinborough Winery and Foodie Tour. It was a pleasure having you both onboard and great to hear the weather didn't dampen your experience too much!
Fantastic experience: We had a winery tour with Phil and enjoyed it heaps! Phil was super nice, very knowledgeable and helpful along the way and during the entire trip. We had a great time, visit few really nice wineries and had a very pleasant experience. Thank you Phil for a very nice day in Martinborough! Kasia&Tanya

Great to hear you enjoyed your day out and thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: We had a lovely, sunny day touring around Martinboroughs winery's with Philip. He was a great tour guide with loads of knowledge about the areas we travelled through. My favourite winery was Poppy's. Their wines were all incredible! We spent a lovely lunch at Moy Hall. I definitely recommend the beef carpaccio! Such a nice day out!
Thanks for the great review Kristina. It was pleasure to have you on tour and thanks for choosing Zozo Travel to help celebrate your birthday!
Fantastic experience: We went on a great Martinborough wine tour with Phil. He entertained us with his great knowledge of the area. It was a great day, visiting 3 beautiful wineries, tasting some great wine and even a gin. Would recommend this to anyone who is in the area and has a day to spare.
Thanks for the fantastic feedback Tracey. It was a pleasure hosting you and thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
Fantastic experience: Loved the tour completely! Phil did a great job with both sharing his knowledge in winemaking, New Zealand and Martinborough specifically, but also gave a nice historic tour with some interesting details of the places we passed by. Three wineries are perfect to both have an idea of the wines but still stay sober enough to appreciate the tasting :) The timing was also perfect - half-day, as promised. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the great review Natasha! Glad you enjoyed the day and thanks for taking the time to leave such positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic private tour with Phil over to martinborough and it was a fantastic day. He’s very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the region. Thanks for a great day. We will do it again.
Thanks for fantastic feedback. It was my pleasure hosting you and the family. Great to hear the tour was well loved!
Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable. Good driver. Well knowledged of the history of Martinborough and the good spots to visit. Definitely recommend Zozo, Phil was easy going, good fun. He is well known and is eager to please. Thanks Phil.
Thanks for the review Michelle. Much appreciated! It was great having you and Scot on tour. Enjoyed the day. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: Great foodie and winery spots shown by Phil. Highly recommend their tours. Phil is full of knowledge... was a great day out!
Thanks for the great review Meher. Much appreciated!
Positive experience: What a great day. Small group tour which allowed us to get a taste of what Martinborough had to offer. Our guide Phil was extremely knowledgeable not only about the wines but the region as a whole. We visited three wineries on our trip. A great mix of small, local wineries as well as a more commercial one. The owner of Muirlea Rise is an absolute gem of the area, his passion shining through. The short stop at the cheese shop was nice but it would have been better if we did a little tasting as well. If I had to list a downside it would be that at times it felt a bit rushed but then again it's just an introduction.
Hi Kellie, thanks for your feedback and suggestions. Great to hear you enjoyed the tour!
For those looking for a sample of the cheese we offer a Martinborough Foodie Half Day Tour which includes cheese, chocolate and a winery visit. Alternatively there is our full day Martinborough Winery and Foodie Tour that includes comprehensive stops at each of our foodie partner locations and is a longer but more leisurely tour option.
Fantastic experience: We joined Phil on the Martinborough winery tour this weekend and it was awesome. Phil was super knowledgeable about the area and the wines and everyone at the wineries were so nice (and the wine was great!). Definitely recommend!
Thanks for your positive review, Steph. Glad you enjoyed our Martinborough Winery Tour.
Fantastic experience: My partner and I went to Martinborough Wine Tour via Zozo travel and it was amazing. We went to visit Poppies, Moy Hall and Te Kairanga. Aside from the wines being superb at the these places, our tour guide Phil was funny and well-informed of the places we visited and drove by.
Thanks for the great feedback. Great to hear you enjoyed the tour!
Fantastic experience: Thanks Phil for half day wine tour. Thanks for customising day for us to include chocholic stop at Schoc chocolates Greytown and changing to Palliser estate as second time we have taken tour.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended tour Had fun with the tour with Phil. From inquiring up to the end of the tour was great. They accommodated our requests and the tour guide was knowledgable in the places we visited. Foodie tour is good if you want to try a bit of everything, cheese, chocolates, and wine.

Fantastic experience: We had a great day with Phil on the "Wild coast and wine tasting" tour - we had a spare day around a work visit to New Zealand and this was a great way to experience a wide range of different things in a short space of time! Phil is a knowledgeable and passionate guide across the many different aspects of the tour - equal parts historian, cultural guide and sommelier, and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Three of us joined this wine tour. It couldn’t have been a nicer day. The weather was perfect, and we definitely enjoyed the entire trip. We went to three local wineries and a cheese shop. The tasting was good and the stories shared by our tour guide Mel and winery owners were impressive as well. Highly recommend if you come to visit Wellington.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant food tour - highly recommended Our local guide, Phil, was outstanding. We visited variety of different food stores including a coffee roaster, a chocolatier, an Italian restaurant, a Cypriot family cheese shop and a boutique brewery. It was a good variety of different foods to sample with the opportunity to purchase some great local produce. Each place had high quality food and plenty to eat and drink. We would do it again and highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves to sample locally produced New Zealand food.

Fantastic experience: My wife & I went on the 1/2-day (5 hr) Martinborough winery tour, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Phil is an engaging tour guide - we had fun learning a bit about the history of the region, and especially sampling the various creations of the three vinyards we visited. PS - 3 vinyards was just right - more would have been too much. We look forward to taking another tour with Zozo sometime in future.
Thanks for your feedback. Great to hear you enjoyed the day!
Fantastic experience: Awesome day out with Phil from Zozo travel- we booked the “wild coast & wine” tour- absolutely stunning scenery - Phil picked some great spots for cheese, chocolate & wine tasting along the way and provided informative & relaxed commentary throughout the day; top guy - great company; thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience as much as possible of this beautiful part of the world in a single day; Thank you, Phil ,for fantastic day !!!
