Dream Marlborough wine tour - Lisa was a knowledgeable and great guide. She went above and beyond. She also insured that everyone made it back safely to their accommodation. The transportation was optimal.

Why else go to Marlborough if not for this? - Excellent tour. A great way to meet friendly people and sample some excellent wines; and more than just the standard NZ pinot noirs and sauvignon blancs (which do get a bit samey). The smaller vineyards are the best - the enthusiasm of the winemakers is infectious - but there was an excellent variety. The lunch was superb and the guide made it informative and fun. Just don't get left behind like we did! We still had a fabulous time.

A great Marlborough wine tour experience. - A very well organised tour which introduced us to a range of the wines and wineries of Marlborough, including a fantastic lunch at Saint Clair.
Bruce was an excellent guide! All the wineries were set up to receive our small group and the transport was very comfortable.

Would thoroughly recommend - Mark who guided us on today’s Taste wine tour was the consummate guide and host. The tour itself was very well constructed and great value for money. Unlike a similarly priced tour in Otago we did not feel rushed and had a proper 2 course lunch (which was excellent). Would thoroughly recommend

Top notch wine! - We were taken to several wineries and discovered there was much more to Marlborough wine than good old Sav Blanc. We sampled a number of different and innovative wines and enjoyed a top class lunch en route. Thoroughly recommend this tour. Grateful thanks go to Tanya, our guide, for making this such an enjoyable experience. Her vivacious personality, knowledge and enthusiasm made this a memorable experience and one of the highlights of our New Zealand road trip.

It's been the perfect day... - It's been the perfect day for a tour around the vineyards. Great driver, great people on the bus bus and perfect weather. Ray (our driver) even surprised us with a quick stop at the local chocolate manufactory which was totally worth it. I'd given five stars if there would have been some time allowed to stroll around the vineyards too. But the schedule was too tight, yet lovely every minute.
