Tasty Tour's Waitaki Region August 2012

If you ever come to Otago for whatever reason, you should consider doing a food and wine tour through Tasty Tours. It is a decadent day of food and wine that really is beyond anything you could probably organise yourself.  Janine the owner started the company with a passion for food and wine, saw a gap in the market after organising her own hens night in Central Otago.  She discovered that there was no Central Otago tour company that offered a high end service operating out of Dunedin .  (TALK ABOUT AN OPPORTUNITY!)  So that is how it was born.

The whole day was amazing, Janinne's local knowledge and attentiveness to every passenger was amazing! All I can say is we will be back! (and we are locals!)

The team and I are booking another one for the end of the year and the Oamaru food and wine festival next year- We are all very excited!

Highlights:
