Great fun and quite informative
The big picture wine tasting experience was a really fun activity, the aroma room was great and really put into perspective how important and neglected our sense of smell is. The video presentation was informative and the wines tasted were so different which really nice. I highly recommend it.

it is much better than it sounds
We had a great time to analyse the many flavours in the aroma room. There are about 60 different fragrances in snake bottles. Than the movie from the wine farmers and the good wines to taste. A must for wine fans and this for a very good price

A bit of fun
We went in a group of 8 - definitely the more the merrier. Some might consider it a bit cheesy, but if you are looking for something different do it, then stop off for dinner. Enjoyed the run down in the Aroma room and experiencing the different smells. We then went into the theatre for our wine tasting.

Wine tasting experience
The wine tasting experience was excellent. The only disappointing thing was that BookMe hadn't notified them that we were coming. However the team quickly assembled a tasting course together and we had a great afternoon sampling some amazing NZ wines.
