The host was great--incredibly knowledgable and very friendly. The wines were delicious, we learned a lot, and it felt like a unique NYC experience. read more

So much fun! Had a great time learning about wine making and tasting the amazing selections offered during the tour. Keir is the perfect person for this job; he's smart, funny and, he's a wine wizard! The tour also provided a unique opportunity for us to pair wines with foods from around the world... on our tour we sampled some delicious bits from Central Europe and Greece! Sooooo Gooood! I highly recommend this tour. It's fun, educational and a great way to meet new people. read more

My friend and I did the wine tour in Hoboken this past Saturday. We had a great time! I learned a lot about wine (and I've been to wine tastings/tours before) and was entertained while learning. We visited two great restaurants in Hoboken and had some delicious foods while trying wines. The tour ends at a local wine/liquor shop where you get a discount if you purchase anything. Definitely would recommend this tour; it's great to do something new/different besides going to the bars or going out to eat. read more

Recently went on a Pair Wine Tour lead by Keir. Not only was the wine exceptional, the experience was extremely informative and really spiked my interest in learning more about wine. Keir was passionate and enthusiastic, which aided to the already positive experience. I have already spoken to several friends about looking into a private tour with Pair Wine Tour. 100% recommend if you want to truly learn more about wine and the creation process. read more

My Boyfriend and I participated in the Hoboken Wine Tour. We enjoy wine, but are not experts and have never done a wine tour or tasting of any kind. That being said, we absolutely loved our experience! Keir was SUPER knowledgeable and told us SO many stories and facts not just about wine but also about other liquors as well! Keir took us to a couple of great restaurants in Hoboken where we got to try some amazing food in addition to the wines. And we definitely plan on checking out those restaurants too as the food was AWESOME. We would highly recommend this as a fun activity for couples or friends to do together! read more

My boyfriend and I went on the Hoboken tour yesterday and had an amazing time! Keir is so knowledgeable and open to any questions! He was super friendly and made the whole experience very fun. The restaurants were AMAZING. So much more food than we expected. The wine was all so good and we got to try things we really didn't know much about. He inspired us to learn more about wine! Overall a great way to spend an afternoon. Good wine, good food, good people! What more can you ask for! Totally worth it, would do it all over again! I think we're gonna try some of the other tours as well.. read more

I brought my mom on this tour yesterday and it greatly exceeded our expectations! Keir is extremely knowledgeable - you can ask him about anything from wine process to storage to climate differences and he knows it. We went to two spots to experience the food pairing aspect and then ended up at a package store, which was not sale-sy at all. Many of us still bought bottles using our newly learnings to pick them out, and with Keri's expertise. Definitely take this tour! I plan to do another one soon! read more

I wanted to do something fun for my bachelorette party and I came across Pair Wine Tours. After speaking with Keir right away I felt this was going to be a fun experience to celebrate with my family and friends. My bachelorette party was absolutely perfect with pair wine tours in Hoboken. Everyone enjoyed themselves and learned so much about the wines and how to pair them with food. The food selection was so delicious and plenty for a party of 12. I loved this experience and highly recommend it. read more

Had no idea what to expect but the whole experience was so educational and fun. Keir is extremely personable and knowledgeable. He answered everyone's questions and even stayed after the tour to help us choose a perfect wine to take home. Restaurants were amazing and would definitely want to come back and eat at each one. Highly recommended weekend activity! read more

We took the Hoboken tour with Keir while my parents were in town. We visited two restaurants and a wine shop and had the BEST time. There was of course plenty of delicious wine but Keir was also extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much more than we have on other wine tours. He was also very personable and was an enjoyable guide throughout our time together. On top of everything the food pairings were amazing! We had a vegetarian in our group and were easily accommodated. We were anticipating small bites but left very full from all the food! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone spending time in the area! read more

Had a great time with Keir and others on the tour. This was a gift from our children and my husband and I were very grateful for the experience. I'm more into wines than he but he still had a great time. You don't just get to taste wines you get to experience pairings and learn so much. My head was spinning from the wealth of knowledge Keir shared with us. I had a lot of questions all of which were answered and elaborated upon. The tour was perfectly timed (2 hours start to finish), just enough of people and great selections to learn from and partake in. I'd recommend to those who want to learn about wines as newbies, those who want to learn more or those who just want a nice day out with some delicious small plate pairings and just enough sips of delicious wines to know you've had a sip or two ;). read more

My wife and I just went on a wine tour with Keir and had the best time. Keir seems to know everything about wine and is very passionate about it. He has worked in important positions at a number of really prominent michelin-starred restaurants (like aquavit) and is a trained sommelier. The trip was a fun excursion to two restaurants and a wine store, where we tasted two glasses of wine each with small bites of food. He particularly did a good job making the explanations appropriate for any level of knowledge. Recommended to all! read more

My boyfriend and I received this tour as a gift and it was a very enjoyable Sunday in Hoboken for us. There is a Groupon available for the tour which is a great deal if you are paying for it by yourself. Keir was very knowledgeable and has a very impressive resume to back it up. My boyfriend and I have very different tastes in wine but we both enjoyed everything that we tried. The food provided at both restaurants was delicious and the liquor store at the end was reasonably priced, especially with the discount provided by being on the tour. I will definitely recommend the tour to friends and family! read more

Fantastic! Kier is extremely well knowledgeable and just the educational value alone is worth the tour. Great at presenting and informing us about the wines and pairings we were enjoying that day, not to mention the locations were fantastic as well. The biggest takeaway is not that you'll walk away learning which wines are the best how to find the best tasting ones, but to learn what you enjoy the most and to make the best of what you like. Looking forwards to planning another tour in the future, but definitely going to recommend to anyone, wine lovers or not, this is a to-do. read more

What a fabulous Saturday afternoon! I highly recommend this tour! First off, I need to rave about the tour guide, Keir, he really knows his stuff and he's super passionate about wine and food too, he's also super friendly, very intelligent and a great tour guide. We started off at a pizzeria where he told us a bit about his extensive background in the restaurant industry, including being a chef, a wine director and a sommelier, and asked us what wines we liked to drink. There were maybe 10 people on the tour with us. After ha chatted for a bit, we then tried a Prosecco and a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, and had some garlic knots and pizza to pair with it. After the pizzeria we were taken to a cute authentic Greek restaurant where we had two Greek wines and some pita with spreads, as well as some fries with feta. At the last stop we were taken to a small quaint wine shop where we tried an excellent Pinot Gris and a Syrah. He also put out a spread of cheese and fresh bread. What a fabulous tour, I couldn't stop telling him how much I enjoyed the tour. I just wish it was longer! read more

I did this for my cousin's Bachelorette outing and we had such a BLAST!! The wine was delicious, the food was delicious, and Keir was so much fun and very informative. He was super knowledgeable and he's also laid back and happily answers all your questions. We learned a lot about different kinds of wine and what elements affect wine- it was GREAT! The tour ended at a wine shop where I got a bottle of the most delicious moscato I've ever tried. This is how I'd like to spend every Sunday! read more

My husband and I went on the LES tour back in March and knew we needed to bring our families next time. We had a private tour in Hell's Kitchen. Keir is incredibly knowledgeable and makes learning about wine and pairing it with food so fun. The wine tasted great and the food was delicious. We will certainly be signing up for the Hoboken one as well! read more

I was skeptical as to how much I might actually enjoy this tour given that I had no idea what kind of wine we would be tasting and not familiar with any of the places we'd be visiting. Keir proofed me wrong from the get go. The entire tour was enjoyable with his upbeat energy, and throughout the tour he answered questions left and right while keep a steady flow of wine knowledge (and wine, of course) flowing. At the end of the day, I got to taste some really good wines within budget, realized that good wines don't have to be intimidatingly expensive, and I learned new things about wine. Totally worth it. Highly recommended to anyone who is considering to take one of these tours. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect but I work with some wine snobs and a bit tired of their shenanigans when we dine out together so I thought I'd give this a try. I can say this far exceeded my expectations and it was a GREAT time. Got a very good understanding of the key things to look for, how to pair, etc. Keir's knowledge was AWESOME and his attention to detail at each stop was great. Highly recommend this tour. read more

I do not even know where start. AMAZING! This was my first wine tour and will not be my last .I was always intimidated about attending a wine tour .I know absolutely nothing about wine ,I had a fear of me not grasping what eveyone else tasted or knew about wine .But Keir was to the rescue to answer all questions and educate us on all types of wine . His knowledge on wine was so advanced I was amazed , the way he metaphorically described wine and texture was absolutely mind blowing.And all the while he remained humble , enthusiiastic ,and willing to educate . A good friend of mine invited me to this tour we just made it a girls day out in Hells Kitchen with great wine ,food and an amazing group of wine lovers ! Attend this tour you won't regret it! read more

I had a fantastic time on a 2 hour tour with my friends today. Keir was a wonderful guide and most of all very patient!! Although we were late, he showed kindness and tried to make the best out of our time. And most all of, the wine and food was tasty! I would definitely recommend this wine tour to a friend. read more

I had an awesome time! Being only a social drinker, I have limited knowledge of wine products but my friend took me on this tour for my birthday last month. I had a great experience tasting the various wines and the tour guide, Keir, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the wine products. My friend and I attended a tour in Hoboken, NJ but I believe he also has tours in the NYC area. If you are in Hoboken or NYC and are looking for something fun to do on a Saturday afternoon, I highly recommend that you check out the Pair Wine Tours website and see what tours are available. read more

Loved this wine tour, I have a better understanding of what wine to drink with which foods. Enjoyed doing the tour in Hoboken NJ, with Keir, he is so knowledgable with wine selections and what foods, go well with what type of wine . Sign up, don't miss a fun afternoon like we had! read more

We absolutely loved this wine and restaurant tour. Keir is really knowledgeable and also really nice! And more importantly, he never made someone feel like they asked a bad or stupid question about wine and/or cooking. We learned a lot, had a lot of fun, and got to explore a part of the city that we aren't in very often. Thank you! read more

This wine tour was absolutely sensational! Kier was fantastic! He was exceptionally knowledgeable and enthused about his passion for wine, which made it extremely hard to not to be so interested in everything he had to say. His charismatic personality really draws you in and keeps you wanting to know more! I would highly recommend this wine tour with Kier! You will not be disappointed! It is worth every penny! I cannot wait to attend another tour with Kier! read more

A friend and I did the Hell's Kitchen tour this weekend. Keir was very knowledgeable and made it interesting and fun. The places we went to were places I'd never been but would definitely be visiting again. The final stop was a liquor store where after the tasting we were able to shop (with Keir's help) and were offered a discount for being part of the tour. I would happily recommend this to friends looking to do something fun and different. I'll definitely be checking out the other tours available as well! read more

This has to be one of the best deals in NYC. I thought that I knew something about wines, boy oh boy was I impressed with my experience. I happened to be part of a birthday group where one of my friends that organized the day had included this wine tour of which I knew nothing about and went in blind. This was the first one I had ever done in my life and we went to three restaurants around the west village. Our tour guide was Keir and I have to say, this guy is a never ending encyclopedia of wine knowledge. His love, passion and respect for wine is clear as he could easily have turned our three hour tour into three days, musing on wines! We went to three restaurants and were able to try a whole variety of wines along with some really nice bites of food. The great thing about Keir is that with all of his love and knowledge of the subject, you never once felt intimidated by anything that you drank. There were a couple of French wines that I tried that I knew nothing about and he was able to explain and educate us about them in a very down to earth manner without ever coming off as snobbish as you often find in the wine world. I will do this tour a few more times because it's a great value and a great time. Truly a fantastic experience. read more

Keir Carter was a fantastic guide to the wines and dining of Montclair. We enjoyed hearing about different wines, their history, and how they could match with different foods at a Mexican restaurant, Mediterranean restaurant, and a wine & cheese shop. The wines were delicious, but the food was the welcome surprise -- very tasty and plentiful. Tip: Come hungry. Other tip: Be sure you know if you are going on the Monclair Wine Tour of a NY Wine Tour. read more
