"My friends and I had a fantastic experience with Roam, exploring various wineries and eateries through Bannockburn, Gibbston and Arrowtown on a sunny afternoon.

Nick made us feel relaxed and comfortable everywhere we went, we didn't want the tour to end.

I couldn't recommend Roam highly enough for anyone looking for a memorable day out with their mates in the Central Otago Lakes region."

Great wine tour hosted by Nick, who has a lot of knowledge about wine and the region.

Super friendly and made the afternoon one to remember. Would absolute be back.

Cameron Brown

I booked a full day wine tour with Roam Wanaka for a group of 6.

It was an exceptional day from start to finish. Nick created a great atmosphere with plenty of surprise and delights.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Roam Wanaka to friends and family. I will definitely be using their services next time we are in the area.

"We had a wonderful day visiting fantastic vineyards with Joe Waide. He was the perfect guide, knowledgeable about the area and fun. It was wonderful to hear local legends and find out how they related to the wine we were tasting. The tour also included a delicious platter of local cheese and produce at one of our stops. It was a privilege to be given two Haka after we had visited our last tasting spot. Joe's Maori heritage made this wine tour a unique experience."  — Michelle, Manchester, UK
