This was a well worthwhile wine tour. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour so Mike our driver was very open to what wineries we wanted to go to. He was well informed of the wineries In the area and well informed of wine in general. Well worth the trip.

Had a lovely time on this tour, our guide, Mike, was very accommodating and knowledgeable, the wineries and tastings were great, we came away with a few bottles, as well as a few recommendations of things to try later in the week! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a relaxing experience around the Marlborough wineries.

We had a brilliant time on our half day wine tour with Sue. She took us to a great selection of vineyards plus a chocolate factory, shared insightful knowledge and facts throughout the day and was overall a fantastic host. We were very lucky to find ourselves the only ones on our tour - thank you to Sue and Jade for making it a special day during our trip to NZ.
