Reviews of The Original Marlborough Wine Tours

W. P.

Really fantastic full day wine tour of the very best wineries and heritage / stories of the people involved. Really well operated, on time, flexible, helpful. A great experience and in every respect a really special experience. I have been on other tours and Marlborough Wine Tours really stood out for right from the booking experience through to the day itself - thank you so much!

R. W.

Had a fantastic day on New Years Eve with Phil as our guide who was full of knowledge and a lot of fun too. It was made even better with the great people we met on the tour who we got on extremely well with, thanks ladies for making this a great day and were also joined by another great couple who were on the half day tour. All the cellar doors we went too were amazing with great relaxing settings, did not want to leave. We had lunch at St Claire vineyard which was amazing - great choice Phil. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

j. m.

Took the 1/2 day outing with Marlborough Wine Tours. Such great fun and learned lots about wine from Phil. He was very professional, very knowledgeable and he tried very hard to personalize the tour to our wine tastes. Visited 4 outstanding venues. Totally relaxing afternoon. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and professional. We highly recommend Marlborough Wine Tours and especially Phil. We felt like we made a new friend that day :-) Donald & Jude

A. C.

Dean was very professional and gave a great insight to wine in the Marlborough region with his knowledge. He was helpful and accommodating We had a great tour and I would definitely recommend Marlborough wine tours for your next visit to the area😊

D. H.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Marlborough Wine Tours. Nic our guide was attentive and instinctively catered the day around us in a calm relaxed way. We felt very pampered! Every stop was a delight. Every vineyard had a story and each representative passionate to share their exceptional knowledge about the wine. We would highly recommend! Lots of laughs and lots learnt from the day! Thank you MWT!

K. S.

Phil our Tour Guide was awesome, for me, it was a last minute booking and they did well to fit me in. Highly recommend doing this as Phil was fun, friendly and informative as were the various friendly Vineyard staff. It was a fun group I joined which also added to the enjoyment. of the day.

E. P.

We were picked up by the very friendly Phil who was very knowledgeable about the wines and the region. The wineries we visited were all great in their own unique ways, we had a great experience and would recommend to anyone.

H. P.

Great wine tour with Phil. The weather was dreadful but we were cosy & warm in all of the places we visited. The winery staff were lovely & our two other Aussie companions were a delightful young couple. We enjoyed a great lunch at St Claire winery & Phil went out of his way to help us in the rain & entertain us with the history of the wines in the region. I highly recommend this wine tour company to all ages. Thanks for a great day.

E. J.

We were in town on a cruise but booked this tour on line before we left. It was much cheaper than the on board offerings and more intimate as there was only four of us on tour that day. We received entertaining and personalised service in an air conditioned people mover and our driver avoided crowds by phoning the wineries ahead and organising our day so there were no queues. We had a great day, met some interesting wine people and tasted some very good wines. Very happy.

C. K.

Look no more, this is the tour to take! This is a trip of a lifetime! Gavin was extremely educated and friendly. My husband and I were the youngest on this tour and never felt that way. Gavin had a way of making everyone feel like family. The views were incredible! Wine was delicious! Tour was amazing! I can’t wait to come back to New Zealand and do this tour again!

A. G.

BEST WINE TOUR EVER! Highly recommend this company for your Marlborough Wine Tour. We went to 5 wineries in 4 hours (medium tour) and had wine tastings at all of them. We also had lunch at one of the wineries in between, at own cost but worth it. At the end of the day we had a choice of a 6th winery or chocolate factory. They even pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation! Our tour guide, Dean, was friendly, knowledgeable, and hilarious. He really made the tour memorable and interesting! Plus, he even gave us a feijoa fruit at the end. The whole trip was definitely worth the money! If you’re headed to Marlborough and looking for a wine tour, this is the company you want to book with to get the best experience!

My wife and I did the full day tour. Booking and pickup was easy. Pick up was local to where we were staying in Picton. We were extremely lucky that we had the first half of the day to ourselves and received a very personal tour. Our tour guide Nic was extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable and even accomdated a visit to a winery of our choice. We would highly recommend this tour whether it's your first or fiftieth wine tour.

S. L.

Thank you Phil - what a day‼️ An eclectic mix of wineries and a bonus visit to Makana Confections. The wine tastings were informative and plentiful. Our lunch stop at St Clair was perfect with an awesome menu to choose from. Framingham Winery won my heart and stole my palate - so delicious. Gibson Bridge was my favourite - thank you Julie, your enthusiasm was infectious, your Pinot Gris amazing. WhiteHaven Wines and Nautilus also gave a new perspective to other varietals. This was a day to remember and a day I would recommend to all.

B. J.

With a group of 10 friends we did a tour with Jenny. Honestly it could not have been better. We had a great time, the time at the stops was perfect, tidy and safe transport, knowledgeable and friendly. We really just went on a wine trail with friends, the one driving was new and sober, but we felt very much it was a personal service. I can't speak highly enough of Jennifer. Thankyou, a great time.

T. M.

Our Tour guide was Nic, she is very friendly and informative. We had a great time on the tour. All wineries we went to were great and we had plenty of time at each place to relax and enjoy the wines. I would recommend this tour for new and old wine lovers, as there is heaps to learn for people just getting into wines and lots to try for wine fans. On an average we tried 4 different type of wines at each stop and had a lunch stop (at your expense) to bond with the group. 5/5 stars overall. 🙂

K. R.

Me & my partner were picked up & dropped off in Picton to Blenheim for the afternoon half-day tour. We were the only ones on the tour and we’re very thankful as other tour companies have minimums. We had an amazing time with our driver Phil on our wine tour! He catered the tour to our wine preferences & all wineries we visited were perfect. He gave us lots of insightful information about wine, their respective vineyards and Blenheim. We didn’t realise (our own fault) the half-day tour doesn’t have enough time for lunch but Phil was very flexible to fit in a cheese board for us during our first wine tasting. TIP: Would recommend having lunch prior to half-day tour OR better yet doing the full day wine tour! Overall, we highly recommend this tour and would definitely do it again when we’re back :) Vineyards we visited : - Hunters - No.1 - Nautilus - Saint Claires - And if you’re nice to Phil he might even let you pop into the Boutique Chocolate Factory.

C. J. -. n. B.

Highly recommend Marlborough Wine Tours. Great friendly owners passionate about the industry and great guides. You visit 4 wineries, and they are happy to take recommendations on any wineries you would like to go to. Was the best option if you are also needing the extra pickup from Picton (over Blenheim), which was no hassle for them. Great value for a lovely informative and enjoyable tour.

A. F.

We had a fabulous day with Phil. We went to six vineyards and had lunch at Saint Clair (so good!). Phil was knowledgeable about the area and the wine. We will hopefully visit the area again soon and would definitely book with this company again.

G. B.

Phil gave us a fantastic afternoon visiting four different vineyards in Marlborough. He arrived to pick us up bang on time in Picton and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable throughout the afternoon. It was a small group but everyone got on well and we tasted some lovely wine. Definitely recommend!

I. W.

Such a great time! We visited six vineyards and had lunch over a six-hour tour and everything was fantastic. Our guide, Gavin, was very knowledgeable and wonderful overall and the rest of our group was a riot. My husband and I learned a ton and got to try lots of great wines along the way, walking away with a bottle from most vineyards we visited. Don’t hesitate to use Marlborough Wine Tours and ask for Gavin when you do!

P. H.

We booked with another couple of friends and had the most amazing day. The staff memeber Nic was outstanding, professional, nice and knollegable.The Vineyards were perfect for us and we loved every moment. Highly reccommed Malborough Wine Tours to anyone who want to have an awesome experience in a small group.

L. R.

On my visit to the Marlborough region I wanted to safely visit multiple wineries. Fortunately I found this tour and it was perfect. I was worried because my lodging was a little out-of-the-way but it was no problem for them to come pick me up. Phil was our driver and very knowledgeable about wines in the region. We were lucky to have him as our host. The wineries chosen were well thought out and I am grateful that they didn’t pick the larger wineries in favor of visiting the small and some up-and-coming wineries. We visit 6 wineries in total and didn’t feel rushed in any of our visits. This is a great option if you are lacking a designated driver and really want to enjoy the region.

D. K.

My partner and I booked this tour via tripadvisor due to the number of great reviews and boy it did not disappoint. From the moment our guide Gavin picked us up it was great. Gavin was professional and very funny and took time to get to know a little about everyone from the start and throughout the day. His knowledge of New Zealand itself was amazing but even more impressing was his knowledge on wine. He answered each and every question that the group had in amazing detail. All of the wineries we visited were unique and the wines and staff there were great. We had lunch in a beautiful winery overlooking the vineyard where the food and wine were delicious. The time went so quick because it was a jam packed day and my partner and I were a little sad when it came to an end ( all good things must though, aye ) I can’t recommend this tour enough. 5 stars!!!

S. P.

We had a fantastic day on this tour. Nic was our guide and couldn't have been better - friendly, knowledgeable and she took us to 4 excellent wineries. There were 8 of us and we travelled in a comfortable van. Each winery was unique in their set up and the tastings were leisurely and informative. Highly recommended!

C. R.

I visited on a cruise ship and booked this tour. Dean was very knowledgeable and obviously had chosen the wineries carefully and for variety. I did not feel rushed and Dean took the time to show us and talk about the region not just the wineries. I loved each winery, not just for their wines but their hospitality. Highly recommended tour and company.

B.

We had a wonderful time on our wine tour with Gavin! He was very knowledgeable, so funny and tailored the tour to our liking. We went to some bigger wineries such as Cloudy Bay but he also took us to some smaller ones, such as Fromm which is organic. We would totally recommend taking a tour with them and especially Gavin!! :)

d. w.

Gavin hosted a wonderful day introducing us to a number of great vineyards in the Marlborough region, including a stop for one of the best lunches we had in NZ. We especially appreciated the changes he made to accommodate our pace, our tastes, and even a quick stop at a specialty chocolate factory. Gavin’s depth of knowledge was very helpful both for the wine tastings and the local area. Definitely recommend. Many thanks Gavin

B. P.

Phil took us to various wineries so we could taste all that Marlborough had to offer. He was a fantastic host and was more than happy to answer our questions. Absolutely recommend, we had a great day out.

M. C.

We were hosted by Dean for our first ever wine-tour experience and he proved to be a very capable, knowledgeable and friendly guide. The vineyards we visited were absolutely beautiful and the wines wonderful (even though we each had our preferences). We capped off a winter’s morning with a delicious lunch at Wairoa Vineyard. Altogether a delightful day. Would we go again? You bet.

A. M.

Had a fantastic, personalised experience with Gavin from Marlborough Wine Tours. He listened to our wine preferences then tailor-made a tour of 4 wineries to suit (we did a half day wine tour). Gavin was even able to arrange a couple of special private experiences at 2 wineries we visited. Gavin is clearly knowledgeable in NZ wines and was a value-add to our tour (not 'just a driver'). Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Gavin and Marlborough Wine Tours. Thank you!

R. B.

I did the half day tour; and it was thoroughly enjoyable. The meal was great, and so was the wine. I found Gavin very informative; his knowledge of wine seemed first class. I also enjoyed the group who I went on the tour with. A fun and interesting way to spend my time. Thanks a lot.

K. R.

Thank you so much to Gavin for such a memorable and enjoyable wine tour of the Marlborough Region! Gavin had so much knowledge and tool us to some amazing vineyards that were off the commercial beaten track. Really personal feel and tailored to the group - I can't recommend this tour enough!

L. B.

First wine tour of my life. Enjoyed the friendliness of our driver and the other guests. Loved the fact we spent time with the smaller local vintners. Great day exploring and tasting. Lunch venue was excellent and enough time given to relax and bond with fellow guests

T. R.

Nic was amazing so knowledgeable about the vineyards and region and really lovely! We had a great day touring the vineyards tasting wines, the tour was a great size and we got to taste wines at 6 vineyards. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to taste some wines whilst In Marlborough!

C.

Great way to spend a day getting to know these fabulous wines. Our guide, Nic, was knowledgeable and friendly about the local area as well as the vineyards she took us to. She always drove carefully and was considerate when parking, parking in shade whenever possible. We visited a range of vineyards from large businesses to small organic wineries. All of them were welcoming and we tasted a range of wines, 7 of them at one vineyard. Lunch at St. Clair was delicious.

D. W.

We had a grand day out with Marlborough Wine Tours (on 12 January, 2019). Dean picked us up from our Blenheim hotel in a luxury SUV, and we were lucky to have him to ourselves for the day. He tailored our tour to suit our wine preferences, and his considerable knowledge - of wine-making, the vinyards and their owners - was evident throughout. He brought us to 6 different Cellar Doors and a really nice restaurant for lunch, all staffed by helpful and friendly experts. By the end of the day, we felt well-fed, well-informed, and perhaps slightly "merry". I'd thoroughly recommend their tours.

J. L.

Dean was a great wine guide who listened closely to what we liked and didn’t like and steered us accordingly. Especially enjoyed our lunch at St. Clare with the big open air table overlooking the vineyard. Rose there very good. Tasting room and grounds at Allan Scott were lovely too. Loved their Chardonnay.

l. S.

We had a great day with Gavin! He was very knowledgeable and really explained the wine process to help us understand why wines taste the way they do. He took us to 4 different wineries giving us an opportunity taste a variety of wines, expanding our palette.

S. O.

Great half day tour. PIck up and drop off from/to our rental house was great. Four different vineyards for tastings - Misty Cove was exceptional and St Clair was perfect for lunch. Phil was excellent guide - laid back and happy to chat about wine and other stuff. Very happy.

S. L.

My husband & I did a half day tour recently. We had a fantastic time. Jess who took us was very knowledgeable and helpful. We visited 4 wineries and enjoyed them all. It was a very personal service that we really enjoyed.

a. N.

Great day out! Lots of good wine to taste, good guide and a lovely lunch at one of the winery’s. Really recommend to book a full day tour if you have time. Easy communication before booking and tour. Value for money is good.

E.

We did a full day tour during Easter. The day consisted of a 3 wine tastings prior to lunch with a 10 min stop a the chocolate factory in between, a wine tasting during lunch and two wine tastings after lunch. A total of 6 wineries with at least 5 wines to taste at each. The tour was relaxing in a sense that we didn't need to drive or figure out directions, muscle our way through a large Easter crowd of people and were immediately accommodated upon arrival. However I never felt like I could calmly take in the moment and just enjoy the wine. The whole day felt very rushed. Everyone was ready for lunch after the second winery and the place we went to for lunch only served light meals, eventhough very delicious, however since we didn't have time for starter before the main, the meals weren't sufficient in size for wine tasting stomachs. When it comes to wine I prefer quality over quantity. We decided to do this tour, rather than rent a car since that way both my partner and I could enjoy the wine without restrictions. I had researched and made a list of wineries I wanted to visit since the website states: "With our classic tours, we have no set wineries that we visit, as our guides decide on the day. We do like to try and accommodate all winery requests when possible." I was therefore very disappointed to discover this was not at all the case. The wineries had already been set in advance. Given the crowds at some places, this is understandable, however this statement makes me feel deceived about the product they offer. All in all I think this is a good tour for people who aren't too fussy about the particular wineries that are visited and want to fit as many into their tour as possible. Our driver was fantastic, highly knowledgeable about the wineries and the region and very friendly.

N. B.

We really enjoyed this cruise ship tour. Organisation and communication were excellent. Lunch at Saint Clair winery was great quality in a lovely setting. We didn’t know in advance which wineries we were going to visit but they know the area well and we enjoyed each of the 4 wineries visited.

A. M.

We had the pleasure of getting on a Marlborough Winetour with Dean. We enjoyed being part of a small group, the atmosphere was relaxed. It was not only entertaining, but also informative- we have learned a lot about wines and the beautiful region. The wineries were wisely picked by our tour guide, they were all different so that we could get an impression of the diversity of Marlborough wineries. We also got new wine inspirations and would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!

D. M.

AMAZING DAY! Phil is first and foremost the greatest tour guide and took us to the most stunning, friendly wineries. Our whole group felt like family by the end of the day. Be prepared to drink a lot of white wine, as the Sauvignon Blanc is New Zealand’s pride and joy (this is great by me!). The lunch stop was heavenly, in both food taste and ambience. I DEFINITELY recommend Marlborough Wine Tours as your go-to in the region. They plan a fabulous day for you and take care of everything from hotel pick up to drop off.

W. G.

Dean picked us up on time and then we started the wine tasting tour. He was very informative and answered all our wine questions. He took us to the best wineries in the area and even took us to a winery we requested 😊 We also went for a very nice lunch and ended the day with the chocolate factory 🍫 Very professional service. If you’re in Blenheim don’t look elsewhere just choose Dean and his company 🍷

M. M. B.

We had a great tour of the Marlborough wine region! They picked us up at the hotel, and had 5 or 6 different wineries (or, Cellar Doors, as they’re called here) for us to try. We stopped for lunch at a beautiful vineyard, and tried many different varietals - Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noirs were especially great!

R. B.

This was a great tour. We took the ferry over to Picton from the North Island and it was very easy to meet Nic, our driver, even though the ferry was an hour late. In fact, I sent them an e-mail that morning to let them know the ferry was late and got one right back that there would be no problem. The tour itself was excellent, with Nic having picked a really nice variety of Marlborough wineries, including a tiny one whose tasting room was basically a shed. I would definitely take a tour with this company again.

S. C.

We spent the day with Dean for our 24th wedding anniversary and had an absolutely awesome day. He showed fantastic knowledge of the area and the wineries and also added a couple of extra stops to help us celebrate. Would highly recommend this to anyone contemplating doing a tour. We are starting to plan our next one for our 25th anniversary. Thanks Dean and the support team for making such a memorable day! Luv ya work!

S. L.

We booked this wine tour as part of our honeymoon and we were very impressed! Our tour guide Dean was very knowledgeable about the region and the wines we were tasting. We stopped for a fantastic lunch during the tour as well. All in all an amazing experience and highly recommended! Thanks Deano 😛

L. H.

We had a fantastic day with Phil and visited 7 wineries on our full day tour. We went to Cloudy Bay, Jackson Estate, Bladen, Saint Clare for lunch, Hunter's, Te Whare Ra and Fromm. Phil was very knowledge about the local area and wine and everyone seemed to know him wherever we went. Phil also ensured we could visit the wineries we wanted to go to. Everything was really great! Thanks Phil!

D. B.

Dean is the man! What an amazing wine tour experience. He used our groups likes, and dislikes to give us a truly customized tour. Thanks again!

n. s.

We had the chance to share this experience during our trip. I would not hesitate to do it again, the tour took place in a great atmosphere and we were able to enjoy some great quality wines. Thank you Jess and Dean and the whole team.

J. A.

We had a wonderful tour with Nic, visiting four wineyards over a four-hour period. Nic was very charming and informative, sharing her vast knowledge of the area and the vineyards. Everything from pick-up to drop-off at the hotel was meticulously planned. Nic is a wonderful listener and surprised us time and again in fulfilling our personal wishes. I would definitely take the tour again when I am in the Marlborough area.

M. P.

Took a half-day tour during November 2019. Really knowledgeable guide and some brilliant wines from lesser-known producers. Highly recommended!

S. D.

Friendly, family operation. We felt very well looked after and the choice of wineries suited our tastes and avoided the crowds. Dean used his local knowledge after listening to our preferences to make some choice picks.

R. C.

Our group of 8 had a fantastic day or wine and beer tasting with a lovely lunch at St Clairs vineyard. Deano looked after us so well during the day after a well planned itinerary with Jess Highly recommended!

C. M.

Great day out. Had a full day tour with Dean, was a fun filled day with lots of laughter and a good crew of people. Great information given about the wine region. Visted 6 wineries, having lunch at St Clair. Highly recommend a day out with Marlborough Wine Tours.

A.

Great tour enabling us to discover the Malborough Wine Region during one afternoon through the visit of 4 vineyards and the tasting of around 20 wines.

N. V.

Had a wonderful day with April on our half day tour. Very informative, intimate and well-run. We had a great time at four fantastic wineries, highly recommended.

S. W.

Had such an amazing day out today with the owner Jess. She and Dean have the most amazing knowledge of Marlborough, not just wines! The wineries we went to were some of the best tasting experiences I’ve had by far. The team have built an amazing rapport with the winery staff, and won’t take you anywhere not worth the visit. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be back next time we’re in the region. Thanks for a great day Jess!

E. S.

Good opportunity to visit lesser known vineyards tailored to our choices. Informative and entertaining throughout the day. Helpful and quick at responding to email queries. Thanks to Dean for helping us pick the best selection for us on the day.

S. L.

I had an absolutely wonderful couple of days with Marlborough Wine Tours. Jess helped me plan my stay in the area and was sympathetic when I had to unexpectedly change my plans. I went on a half day tour followed by a full day tour the day after and Jess made sure I visited different wineries on each tour. The tours themselves were fantastic; knowledgeable drivers and small groups. Just enough time in each winery and a thoughtful selection of wineries on each tour. An absolutely fab couple of days; would recommend Marlborough Wine Tours to any one travelling to the area.

C. &. J. Z.

Excellent wine tour of the Marlborough region. My wife and I chose the full day tour and could not have been happier! Dean and Jess guided us through the day with amazing knowledge of the area as well as the individual wineries. They were able to take our personal tastes and customize our tour based on what we preferred! Lunch was simply amazing in great surrounds and delicious eats. We definitely recommend booking a tour with Marlborough Wine Tours, it was the highlight of our stay in the Blenheim wine region.

A. M.

Our guide Gavin was very knowledgeable and shared great stories. Took us to a good lunch spot and great cellar doors. Thoroughly enjoyed, thanks.

L. H.

What a relaxing, casual and friendly afternoon we've had with Gavin as our tour guide. Highly recommend this well informed tour to other travellers. Great company to deal with.

S. L.

Thank you Dean for a wonderful afternoon of wine tasting. Starting from our relatively unsophisticated palettes, he took us on a journey of the local wineries and helped a couple of Brits discover their favorite NZ wines. Knowledgeable, personal and friendly - would highly recommend.

A. R.

Private, customized wine and site seeing tour provided by Dean and Jess. Friendly, professional and all with a sense of humour which fitted in with our personalities.

T.

Fantastic wine tour from Dean, very knowledgeable, good chat and we had a great time learning more about wine tasting and the wine making process.

G. M.

We had the most memorable full day wine tasting and lunch. Dean was the perfect guide and we learnt so much about wines and the region. Lunch at Brancott Estate was phenomenal. Highly recommended

M. S.

We really loved this experience with Marlborough wine tour. With my partner we are wine’s lovers and used to do some testing in France and Australia but this was the best ! Our driver Keith provide us a warm welcoming in the very comfortable aircon van. He told us interesting and detailed info on the region and the wine in general. In each winery, someone was waiting for us to start the wine testing at a table, generally in a garden facing the wines and the wonderful landscape of the beautiful Marlborough valley. We did 4 wineries during the afternoon and it was very complete. Always very good wines and plenty of information and history. We highly recommend this tour. All the best guys and thank you for this tour! Miki and Elisa

J. G. (. G.

Great tour. Very informative. Had a great day and learnt a lot about the various wineries. Highly recommend.

M. K.

Awesome experience - great people, scenery and wine!

M. P.

We spent a fantastic day with our tour guide, Tricia, on the Exceptional Extras tour. Tricia was lovely and fun and was hugely informative on the whole area. We had a brilliant day with an amazing lunch and I can't think of a single thing I would have wanted any different. Thank you!

T. T.

Highly recommend Marlborough Wine Tours! Gavin was an absolute delight of a tour guide. The vineyards and wine tasting were exceptional. Thank you for a wonderful New Zealand experience!

We spent a very good day with Jess, she was attentive and she took us where our wine preferences were. We definitively recommend this tour !

J.

Phill was absolutely awesome. Had such an amazing experience during the full day tour. Will be back.

R. N.

Dean was a great guide. We had a lovely day and there were many laughs to be had. My mother, husband and I went along while the in laws looked after our littler baby and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend our baby free day! Great fun!

T. &. E. F.

Fantastic day out, fabulous choices of wineries to visit and lovely place for lunch. Tour guide Gavin was excellent

P. G.

From the moment Dean showed up he was a joy to be around. A fun, pleasurable and knowledgeable tour! Can't thank Dean enough for his time. It was truely a great day and tailored perfectly to taste. Thank you.

R. P.

I organized a private wine tour for an American couple with some specific needs around logistics and wine varietals. Jess was able to plan around these constraints brilliantly and with her engaging conversation and laid back style made it an occasion to remember. Thanks Jess!

M.

Really worth it. I recommend Andy and his company to anybody looking for a wine tour in this region. Proffesional and well organized.

P. D. S.

Loved Marlborough Wine Tours! Fantastic day in the wine region..tasting some really special & unique wines.

S. T.

A fantastic tour. Dean was a wonderful guide full of knowledge and humour to make the trip one to remember.

L. F.

My whole group and I (my kiwi wife and my British parents) had a lovely wine tour with Nic. All the wineries were fantastic. It was particularly lovely to go to the Wairau River winery. My wife and I had their Sauvignon Blanc on the table at our wedding last year and it was lovely to see where it was made. Nic was very informative throughout the trip, and also had the thirst for learning through the tours to add interest for future groups. I left my sunglasses in the van and she very happily arranged for them to be returned to me. In summary, we had a brilliant and unique experience that my British parents particularly have not had before. Thank you

S.

Managed too visit some great boutique vineyards and taste wine that you wouldn't see on supermarket shelves.

P. E.

Very good wine, friendly, professional and accomodating. Many thanks for a fun day!

L. M.

It was fantastic my first wine tour experience and would do it again in a heart beat. Thank you.

Will have a great day out with these guys. They know their wine. Reasonably priced.

P. Q.

What an amazing time we had with Dean on our wine tour! We went to a bunch of excellent wineries in the Marlborough region, and learned a lot about the history and the up and coming wines in this area. If you are going to do a wine tour in this area these are the guys to use!!! Book early so you can make sure you get in with them!

v. r.

Great tour. Informative and interesting.

(Translated) It was a great tour of the various vineyards in the Marlborough region. Our tour guide Phil really knew all about the region, the wines and the wineries. Everyone could get the wine that tasted best personally and everyone was very friendly and outgoing. A really informative, well organized and fantastic wine tour. Our lunch at the Wairau River Winery was also delicious and I would go back again anytime. A real kiwi experience! (Original) Es war eine großartige Tour durch die verschiedenen Weinberge in der Marlborough Region. Unser Tourguide Phil wusste wirklich alles über die Region, die Weine und die Weingüter. Jeder konnte den Wein bekommen, der ihm persönlich am besten schmeckte und alle waren sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Eine wirklich informative, gut organisierte und fantastische Weintour. Unser Mittagessen in der Wairau River Winery war auch sehr lecker und ich würde hier jederzeit wieder eine Tour machen. Eine wirkliche Kiwi Erfahrung!

(Translated) Excellent visit to the vineyards, very well organized we enjoyed 3/4, the only less interesting was Jackson estate little presentation during tasting, however the 3 others were remarkable. I must emphasize the dedication and interest of our guide Keith, we really liked him ☀️ (Original) Excellente visite des vignobles, très bien organisée nous en avons apprécié 3/4, le seule moins intéressant était Jackson estate peu de présentation lors ds dégustation, toutefois les 3 autres ont été remarquable.
