An excellent day of wine tasting - Truly a wonderful day out with Cam, our tour guide, and a small group of like-minded people experiencing the best of the Marlborough wine estates. Cam’s expert commentary was informative and fun, the time at each estate was just long enough and the lunch at the St Clair estate was excellent. No hesitation to recommend.

Oyster Bay is real after all! - Amazing private trip covering a range of wineries with a great lunch. Cam is friendly and very knowledgable, not only of Marlborough, but of other global wine regions.

Dream visit to Marlborough wineries - This was our favorite wine tour ever. Our guide Cam was phenomenal. Besides his breadth and depth of knowledge of all aspects of the wines and terroir of the region, he was kind, patient, humorous and simply lovely. His thoughtful selection of the wineries we visited made this tour truly bespoke. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather and when we enjoyed our delicious lunch under the grapes we felt like we were in a movie. A perfect day.

A fabulous day - This tour lived up to our expectations and more. Tasting wines in Marlborough was on our bucket list and we had a ball today. Darlene was a wonderful tour leader and gave us lots of useful info about wine making and patiently answered all our questions. She even had an umbrella for when it rained. We visited Cloudy Bay and Jackson Estate and 3 other wineries and they served up gorgeous wines. We went looking forward to the Sauvignon blanc wines and came back as fans of the pinot Noir wines as well. Lunch was excellent too. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour and would do it again in a heartbeat

An outstanding and memorable experience. - My husband and I had a most memorable experience under Cameron’s guidance. His knowledge was second to none. From the moment we met him Cameron was most welcoming and gave us the immediate feeling that we would enjoy a perfect wine tasting tour. We were joined by another couple from Yorkshire with whom we got on well so every aspect of this trip was perfect with its culmination of a truly gourmet lunch! The wines we tasted were carefully chosen, varied and of superb quality. Thank you Cameron for helping us to create very special memories which you are most certainly part of. Nicole and Andy

Doug! - Doug made the trip interesting and fun. We enjoyed all the wineries except because Cloudy Bay is larger and available easily in the US we would’ve liked a more local option. Lunch at St Clair was amazing. My only critique is that we loved some wines at Jackson and thought we could order via the wine collective like the rest but we couldn’t and found out that they don’t ship to the US - had we known that at the time we might’ve figured out how to get some home another way - but no biggie we ordered a mixed case of the others.

Excellent wine day in Marlborough - Excellent day with our guide Doug. We booked a gourmet wine tasting. Pick up at the place we stayed at was on time and a nice information mail was sent to us the day before. We were lucky, probably no one else booked a gourmet tour that day, so me and my husband had Doug as our private guide on this trip. Doug was knowledgeable about the wine growing in the area and like us very talkative and a had great sense of humor. The lunch included was 3 courses and very delicious. We managed to visit 4 wineries and a chocolate factory/shop. All very different and Doug had a good sense on guiding us according to our preferences. We very much recommend this tour and please say hello to Doug.
