Must do in wine country! - Gavin was a wonderful host and driver for our tour. You visit smaller wineries with passionate wine makers and get to sample some of the very best wines that NZ has to offer. This is such a great way to spend the afternoon and get around safely and have a good time. Gavin was knowledgeable and had so many great stories to share. Very much recommend!

Excellent wine tasting trip - We visited 4 wineries. Our guide explained the traditions, soil types, etc etc. involved in local wine production. Most winemakers did not blend to a regular taste, but got the best out of each year's harvest. Tasted a wide variety of types. We were merry at the end, and glad we were on a bus

Great fun & learned a lot about NZ wine growing! - Our driver was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable! We learned a great deal about the region, history of planting and current vineyards before we even reached our first stop!

What a fabulous afternoon - We had an amazing time with Nic, she was very knowledgeable and friendly. The wineries- Forrest, No 1, St Claire & Nautilus were Amazing and the wines were sooo good. I work in a winery in California and the NZ wines were crazy cheap compared to CA!! Beautiful settings and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in Marlborough!! Highly recommend

A Great Taste of Marlborough - We had a really great day visiting 4 wineries - Nautilus, Allan Scott, Whitehaven and Jackson. We bought our lunch at Allan Scott restaurant, which was delicious and all locally sourced foods. Nic our guide was lovely and we learned a lot about the area. We had a fun group too - thanks for the great day out! I would definitely recommend Marlborough wine tours

Great tour of boutique wineries in Marlborough. - This was an afternoon wine tour, led by Keith, who picked us up from our hotel in Blenheim. We went to four wineries, each one a little different, and each one a boutique winery, in what is otherwise full of the major producers. (The best of these was Forest.) It was a very exclusive tour, just the two of us and another couple. Keith was an excellent guide, very friendly, and really knew his wines. Strongly recommended!

Best day in Marlborogh - We had to have the best Guide in Marlborogh, Glenn. The choice of wineries was spot on. Each was very different from the other and we rounded off the day beautifully with lunch in the vines at Saint Clair.

Great tour but poor service from owner - Gavin did a wonderful job of touring the group around and Karen was also very generous with us. This 1-star rating is not a reflection of the tour itself but rather the treatment we received from the owner. We booked the tour months in advance, provided the address of our accommodation, and requested a pickup at our location. The night before our tour, we contacted the company to confirm pickup and were told that it wasn’t possible. When we asked why we hadn’t been told that when we booked and hadn’t been contacted to advise us of this, the owner said she was too busy to read emails. She claimed we were “in the boondocks” even though it was only a 10-minute drive (confirmed through Google maps). We were too late to cancel the tour and so we took it at an additional cost of $NZ60 for taxi fare. Both Gavin and Karen were apologetic about the treatment that we received and Karen even offered to pay for part of our cab fare! The owner seemed indifferent. Be sure to confirm that you will be picked up before booking. We found out later that other tour operators would have gladly picked us up.
