Had a fantastic day thanks to Jesse and his driver, Vlad. Arrived on time and more than happy to go the extra mile to ensure everyone was picked up / dropped off from the correct locations along the way, safely. AA+++ driver. Provided great banter and knowledge of the area. Great wineries and food. Would highly recommend this company to anyone, we look forward to booking the next trip! Apologies for the kids in the back with the bag of chips!!
Excellent trip to 4 vineyards with Jessie, prompt pickup from our hotel and then lots of lovely wine all day, neat that at most of the cellar doors the owners were the ones to tell you about their wines. The lunch was yum at Waipara Springs Winery and even a lovely Port at the end of the day at Torlesse Wines. Our group of friends thoroughly enjoyed this tour and we would recommend.
The day started with me being picked up in Woodend and the first winery we stopped at was Terrace Edge, overlooking the Waipara River. The Chapmans were very accommodating and I enjoyed their selection of five wines. Purchased a bottle of their Liquid Geography Riesling and a jar of their Kalamata Olives (so delicious). The Olives are grown on site. We then went to the Waipara Springs Winery and Restaurant, where we had a most excellent tasting including their gin which was just divine!! We had lunch here, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The pickled fennel and wee red capsicum with a pink filling were absolutely delicious too! We then went to Torlesse Winery where Kym entertained us with wine tastings and hilarious anecdotes. Our last winery we stopped at was Georges Road Wines where Kirk showed us his passion for his wines and being fully involved in all aspects of production. Thank you to Jesse, our driver, for the interesting information of the Waipara region. It was a fantastic day
So glad we decided to do our wine tour with Jesse from Cheeky Wine Tours. A very entertaining day tasting some great wines and learning about the Waipara Valley. Highly recommend!
We were chauffeured around by Jesse for 2 days & we had a lot of fun. My bucket list item was to travel the Tranzalpine which was all good until we couldn't get the return trip. In steps Jesse where while having a chat about his wine tours I mention the transfer problem & he offers to come get us. Easy peasy, best of both worlds! Highly recommend train over & being driven back so you can see this bits you can't from the train such as the seriously impressive Otira Viaduct. Shame about the distinct lack of "everywhere" kea! Next day we trekked up to Hanmer for a hot pool sesh followed by an awesome wine tour. Loved the personal service & behind the scenes peek with Kirk @ Georges Road. Yummo platter lunch & amazing tasting at Torlesse (so amazing a case was shipped home for future imbibing!). Final stop on a totally top day was the stunningly situated Terrace Edge. Thanks for a brilliant couple of trips Jesse, can't recommend #cheekywinetours highly enough. PS. Thanks for pulling the pl
