We had a perfect day with Phil. He took us to some really great places around Martinborough. The wines and the food were presented perfectly. Especially we liked the olive oil tasting at Olivio. This was an unexpected experience. Thanks for the great day .

We all had fabulous day thanks Phil. Our day was packed full of variety which suited everyone in one way or another. We had lots of tastings, from boutique Cheeses and Chocolates to Wines and Beers and there was also time for a very interesting visit to an Olive Grove. It was very informative, with time at the end to taste the home grown locally pressed Olive Oils from the orchard. All in all we had a great day. Lunch at the winery delicious. The traveling was good it didn't seem like we were in the van much at all. Very comfortable. Phil also had a chilly bin for our purchases to keep cool. Thanks again for a Fab day, there's no complaints from us.
