Dan Bishop
We were very honoured to be the first international guests on the new Cromwell Winery Cruise. We were picked up promptly from our accommodation north of Cromwell at Pisa Moorings. The tour van is smart, spacious and comfortable. Then it was on to a very bougie boat, which was very comfortable and sophisticated with reclining leather (?) seats and plenty of room. Not much protection from the elements though, so you may need a raincoat, or hat, sunnies and sunscreen, depending on the weather. The three wineries were all first class, with delicious wines and attentive staff. Note at the second winery you need to either book lunch in advance or go with the pizza (delicious!). With the third winery you need to book the wine tasting separately. Note also at the first two you need to be able to walk uphill on a gravel path for 10 minutes or so from where the boat pulls in, so appropriate fitness and footwear is needed. The entrepreneur who founded and now runs the business is Sam, who was great to deal with, super organized and very friendly. He had lots of interesting history and knowledge to share as well during the day. We ended up at Penny Black in the Cromwell Heritage Precinct at the end of the afternoon. The cocktails, wine and food there were awesome. Later in the evening Sam was kind enough to rescue us when we needed a ride home and there were no taxis to be found in Cromwell. What a superstar! We wish him well in his new and original tourism venture!

What a good day out! We are a group of 5 adults and a baby. We had the boat to ourselves on a private cruise and Sam was very informative and accommodating. Fully recommend this company.
