5.00Gavin was a very personable guide who was both knowledgeable and friendly. We had people from all over the world on our tour which made for interesting chats. The wineries we visited all had unique characteristics both with their cellar doors/tasting rooms and wines. The lunch we purchased was delicious. Can highly recommend this wine tour.
Must visit attraction

5.00Don’t hesitate to take a tour for 5 wineries/day - it’s extremely comfortable tour with stops where you open new wine tastes without over drinking. During the tour we’ve visited different wine cellars and tried different 4 or 5 positions in every one. All tastings were surrounded by perfect setting and welcoming staff. The tour’s schedule was excellent: proper timing for every location and suitable time for lunch break (btw it was very tasty). The transfer car is very convenient, it suits up to 12 persons but in our tour we’re only 5 people. Our qualified tour guide and driver Phil made our experience perfectly comfortable.
Worth it!

5.00This was our second time using this fab company. The integration with Jess in the office told us what we needed to know. She was also very quick to respond. Detailed instructions made finding our guide easy. There were 8 on our tour 2 x couples and a family. Our van was clean an tidy and our guide Gavin was absolutely superb. He was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. There was nothing he didn't know! We visited 4 cellar doors, all were amazing. If we ever get to NZ again, this is my no.1 thing to do in Picton. Thanks everyone.
Excellent tour of Wine Estates in New Zealand's Marlborough Region.

5.00Great trip. If anything, too many wineries for me, I just had a dessert wine taster & a cup of tea at the last one! Visited some great small places, Cloudy Bay disappointing, too busy. Also went to chocolate factory, yummy presents bought for Christmas
A great day out!
