Fabulous Day, a must for any lover of Marlborough Wines - Tony was a great host, lovely guy. Took us to 4 of the smaller, family owned wineries. Was a day to remember, amazing scenery, fabulous wine and great company. Can’t wait to do it again

Fabulous tour, great value! - Great day! The tour was exactly as described, or perhaps even better. Our tour guide, Tony, was knowledgeable, relaxed and kept us on pace in a very lowkey manner. We had plenty of time at the venues to enjoy the tastings, and to appreciate the settings which were varied and interesting. Quite a few wines were sampled and described at each stop, so we felt that we really got a nice representation of Marlborough wines from a variety of vineyards. The structure of the tastings made it easy to absorb the tutorials while getting to know our fellow tour participants. Everyone was very congenial, which made the day trip that much more enjoyable. We would not hesitate to recommend Discovery Wine Tours for an awesome experience and a great value.

Great guide Kevin and... - Great guide Kevin and very enjoyable. Loved the wines, and lots of information about the area too. Well organised, a short wait at one winery which was not the fault of the tour company. Keep up the good work Discovery Wine Tours.

Drink and be merry! - Small group made it easier to relax and enjoy! We visited 4 wineries with 3-4 tastings at each winery with a quick stop at a chocolate shop. At the last winery you could buy lunch which was very good. Good explanations about the different wines and how they were made along with a history of the winery. Beautiful field of grapes.

Fantastic Wine Tour, you should book this. - We had a great experience with Kevin as our guide. Toni was very prompt at answering emailed questions. Our favorite winery was Gibson, a small boutique shop not on the wine tour map. They consistently produce 95+ rated wines, and were the best wines of the day. So good, that we ordered 9 bottles to be shipped home to the US They tailored our tour to our ships arrival and departure times and got us back with no worry at all. From hearing other passengers on different tours, I believe ours was likely the best. Thank you Kevin and Toni! Book this one!
