🥂 Who’s looking for possibly the best summer job in Hawke’s Bay?

🚙 Prinsy’s are quietly hiring for a Tour Driver / Guide for our award-winning Wine Tour business. Could this be you, or someone you know?

The role is casual, part-time, based on the tour bookings we receive. Our drivers love getting out and about any day of the week, Mon – Sun.

Over the busy summer you’ll likely be offered at least 5 days a week.

It’s a fun role in a friendly team, where you get to drive happy people around, visit wineries and local sights, and share our region.

The main thing we hire for is personality – someone who has a story to share, is comfortable weaving a yarn, mature-minded and hospitable.

You don’t have to know it all, just have a passion and a willingness to learn. Full training will be provided anyway.

Desirable attributes are:
• Passenger Service License holder (although we can help the right person into one)
• Knowledge and networks within the Hawke’s Bay area
• Friendly, safe, and considerate
• Passionate about Hawke’s Bay and local wine and food

Please tag or share with a friend or family member who you think could be perfect for this. Anyone expressly interested can please email:

Napa, Bordeaux, Mendoza, HAWKE'S BAY 🥂

This week we couldn't be happier to see our brilliant Hawke's Bay wine region named the 12th Great Wine Capital of the World.

This is HUGE.

At Prinsy's Tours we see every day the quality, creativity and tenacity of the people in our wine region, and the wines they produce. It's so cool.

And after 20 years' hosting wine tours and a lifetime in the local rural sector, we LOVE seeing our region continuing to elevate!

The wines are amazing, the people and the stories are amazing, so why not get out and knock on a few cellar doors to bring yourself up to speed!

For those who'd enjoy the comfy guided tour, our team are here to take you on an impeccable journey into Hawke's Bay wines, whenever you wish.🧑‍✈️

Congratulations Hawke's Bay!

And the collaborators who worked to make this happen: Hawke's Bay New Zealand Tourism, Hawke's Bay Winegrowers, Hastings District Council - Te Kaunihera ā-Rohe o Heretaunga, Napier City Council - Te Kaunihera o Ahuriri, Hawke's Bay Airport, and everyone out there doing it in the HB wine industry 👏

WHEN TWO TOURS BECOME ONE GREAT ONE!

We are officially back on the road, and running our popular group Wine Tours 🍾🫶

What's new is our "AFTERNOON WINE TOUR" - a clever combo of our Half Day and Full Day wine tours, which have been given the backseat for now.

Starting at 11am and finishing up around a respectable 3.30 / 4pm, it's all designed to keep you out of traffic hotspots and inside the glorious wineries where you belong. 🍷🥂🍷

That's around 4.5 hours of Hawke's Bay flavour, across 4 special local wineries, all wrapped up in an aromatic bouquet for you.

We're starting by running these Weds - Sun, but for the most up-to-date availability can be found on our website Book Now page.

We invite you to learn more about our available tours here, and book online if you're ready for a fab day out: https://www.prinsystours.co.nz/wine-tours.html

We are also taking advance bookings for bespoke private tours and transfers.

Thank you so much to everyone who has shown us so much love and support since the cyclone. That very much includes our fantastic team, who have really seen us through with all the extra coordinating and to-ing and fro-ing they have taken on without a blink. Ian, Jill, Kerry, Grant - we're looking at you!

It's all thanks to them that we are able to get back online so quickly.

Thank you everyone, and enjoy! 🥂

CLOSED AT THIS TIME

To our dear customers, friends and family, unfortunately we have been devastated by Cyclone Gabrielle and must temporarily close our business and cancel any tours at this time. Thank you for your support as we focus on what is most important in the clean-up and rebuild.

If we are unable to respond to you it is because of our extremely limited communications capacity - sorry!

Gladly we are safe and have our health. Our hearts go out to everyone affected and those who have lost loved ones.

When we are able to provide further updates, we will do so here and on our website.

Take care everyone,

Hamish & Di
