Volcanic Hills Winery, Rotorua

A great way to spend a couple of hours - a great view, fine wine and a matching cheese and fruit platter. Thanks for the hospitality Johnny and Sarah!

It was a beautiful day at the tasting room. The tasting was intimate and informative. Annie told us about the history of New Zealand and explained the types of wine we tasted. If you just want a taste with no explanation, this is not the place. You can’t beat the views, the decor or the company. It was beautiful! Thank you Annie!!

My girlfriend and I went to this winery for a tasting of 5 wines and were served by Annie. The wines were great but our server really made the experience, she was friendly, personable and funny enough to have her own stand up show. Really nice experience, would definitely recommend to others.

Amazing experience-great wine, delicious cheese and amazing company/service. Johnny Rainbow was an excellent knowledgeable and hilarious host. Grab a bottle to go before you leave this place! Also heads up- go to trip advisor at least the day before and get the lift ticket (gondola) and the wine tasting package- you’ll get about a ten dollar discount if you do. My husband and I made the mistake of not buying ours a head of time thinking we would pass on the gondola- but you have to get it because it’s the only way to get up to the winery!

Great experience to start out our honeymoon. The wine was excellent and conversation with Johnny Rainbow was fantastic. We give him 10 stars. -Tom and Allie
