Annie's Tours

Excellent guid. Lots of personal connections in the area. Deep knowledge of the Nelson region.Very educational tour. More than just a wine tour: art, olive oil, mushroom farms and many more to explore.

If you visit Nelson and you have not use Annie's tours you have not visited Nelson at all. She is fantastic and will go out of her way to make your tour something to remembrances for a very long time.

We toured with Annie in March and throughly enjoyed everything about the tour and Annie herself. She is knowledgeable and personable with a great network of contacts which allows you to meet the locals. We visited the farmer's market in Nelson, several great small vineyards, an olive grove and mushroom farm. We had an incredible lunch prepared by Hannes and Terese and were honored to be guests at their farm. We learned allot about the area, sampled some great wine and olive oil and felt like we spent the day with an old friend. If you are visiting the Nelson area contact Annie for a personalized tour!! (You won't be sorry!)

Alli wineries served so good quality wines and lunch was so beautiful. Thanks Anne!

My son and I took a break from NZ fishing to spend an afternoon having Anne take us on a Nelson wine tasting drive. It was wonderful! We saw Nelson, particularly the wineries, like a local. Anne is very well connected in the region, so she knows what is worth seeing, depending on how much time you have. She also is obviously welcomed at the places we stopped, which we never would have found on our own.I can't describe how many memorable experiences Anne packed into a few hours: wine tasting, avoiding the bus groups; fantastic lunch and tasting at a vineyard restaurant, a visit to an historic Kiwi cottage from the early days, and tasting and wine discussions with a highly knowledgeable expert, and finally a visit to the vineyards, where she has worked during the harvest.We ending the day by sending home a case of unique and carefully crafted wine.Maybe you could have an experience like this at the top of the South Island with someone other than Anne. But I doubt it. My son says her homemade cookies were the highlight of our trip.

Simple and sweet... Anne is a wonderful gem when it comes to tour guides! She is extremely knowledgeable, fun, passionate! Anne will work around your goals.She knows NZ like the back of her hand. And everyone knows her! Honestly you will be lucky if you can book with her as she is in high demand for all the right reasons!I loved my full day with her! Learned a great deal about the region and enjoyed the variety of sights( i.e. strawberry farm, art galleries, botanical gardens, ate at the best seafood restaurant with the prime table, shopping, sheep farms, scenic views, native flowers, etc)Simply put.. Anne is the best tour guide !
