Chilled afternoon - A very relaxing afternoon. The wine was “ok”, and the scenery was outstanding.

Great wine afternoon. - This was a most enjoyable afternoon tour, encompassing excellent wine cellars. Our guide was great fun, and really knew his wines. There were just three of us, so we were treated to some really interesting wines, many of which were organized specifically for us, so we could choose our favourites. One of the cellars had some scrumptious bubby (you are not allowed to call it Champagne!). Overall, a great experience.

Great afternoon spent tasting local wines - Top notch wine tour with Kevin who was knowledgable about not only all things wine but also everything else in the region, he is a real great tour guide.

Fantastic short tour of Marlborough where we packed in lots of different wines in a short space of time! - Lovely hot tour of the region with our tour guide Chris, a former rugby player & lovely guy - very knowledgeable. St Clair for delicious lunch then Gibson Bridge vineyard (small, independent place) and then WhiteHaven (medium size). All excellent venues & really passionate hosts. The wines were all excellent & really opened our eyes to how great the local pinot gris was!

A good way to improve your knowledge of NZ wines - A good way to find out about the wines in Marlborough. Our guide was running late but as we can’t ring out or receive phone calls from our phones due to the sim we have, we didn’t know. Eventually she turned up and the tour began. We visited a few estates. Mostly small businesses instead of the large corporations. This was better as we could see the true passion in the wine industry. I’ve since seen a few of the ones we’ve tried in the supermarket. A wine tour is a good way of getting to know the variety without having to drive.

Rather disappointing,too rushed,short changed. - Driver was very informative and obviously experienced in the industry.However,tour was advertised as being 4 hours,it was over in 3.After the lunch we visited two cellar doors in close proximity timewise.Too rushed,not enough time to digest one visit before on to the second which really was wasted.Paid for 4 hours but only got 3.

Not what we expected - Honestly I don’t unterstand why this tour has such great reviews. Value for money is kind of disappointing, basically what you get is a driver that drops you off at 3 wineries (one of which is easily reachable by foot from Blenheim center). A real tasting (meaning you get to taste more than one wine) was only happening at 2 of the 3 wineries. I was also expecting to see more of the vineyards, not only the tasting rooms.
