Marlborough winery tour - We had a fantastic day traveling around the Blenheim/Picton area visiting 4 wineries providing a variety of tastings and experiences. Wine experts provided us with interesting information about the history of each winery and their wines. The lunch provided at St Clair winery was top class (and such a beautiful setting) and the tour company were very easy to deal with in regards to organizing a platter that catered for specific dietary requirements. The small group was ideal adding to the fun of the day and the bus was roomy and well maintained and our driver/guide was friendly and fun (also flexible and patient when our cruise ship docked late delaying our arrival). First class tour and great value for money. Highly recommended.

Fabulous day touring 4 wineries and chocolate factory - We had Nic for our tour guide and she was fantastic! My mother and I joined 4 couples and we toured around in a comfortable passenger van. Nic explained the area and gave us plenty of information about the wineries of the area. Our first stop was Johanneshof Wines, where one of the owners gave the wine tasting information. Her passion came through and this was the best wine tasting experience of all our stops. Next stop was Rock Ferry Wines for more tastings. Then we stopped at Makana Boutique Chocolate Factory, where all us made purchases. Then we stopped at Saint Clair Family Estate for more tasting and delicious lunch (our cost). Everyone enjoyed their meals as they were very flavorful. Then it was onto Jackson Estate for more tastings.
This tour won't disappoint and it was a enjoyable way to tour some wineries.

Excellent wine tour - We had the most wonderful time on this wine tour, and our driver and guide Nic could not have been more helpful nor kinder. Overall the wines were good, and our lunch exceptional. We will not hesitate to travel with Viator again, especially since your communication with us was also outstanding.
