Meet Johnny
■
A lifetime in hospitality, shared one journey at a time.
For John Coleman, known to most as Johnny Driver, hospitality isn’t just a career, it’s a calling. With over three decades in New Zealand’s food, wine, and event scene, Johnny has spent his life perfecting the art of great service and good company.
From his early days managing award-winning Wellington venues like Hummingbird Eatery & Bar and Betty’s Function House & Bar, to hosting large-scale national events and private corporate gatherings, Johnny has built a reputation for his warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail. Twice a finalist in the New Zealand Tourism Awards, he’s as comfortable behind the wheel as he is behind a wine list.
Now based in Hawke’s Bay, Johnny brings that same spirit of hospitality to every experience he creates – from private wine and food tours to executive travel across Napier and Hastings. His tours are shaped by genuine local insight, deep connections with regional producers, and a personal philosophy that every guest should feel like they’re travelling with an old friend.
