5.00A really great trip. Our host Glenn was superb and really helped to bring the group together. The only downside was the stop for the sparkling wines which was rushed and really not informative. My wife was served flat bubbles which was not good. The other venues were welcoming and contributed to a great trip. Maybe drop the sparkling wine venue from the rota.
Perfect!

5.00We had a great wine tour to 4 different wineries. There were several wines to taste with great information about the wine and the winery. Gaven led our tour and was very friendly and communicative and knew a lot about New Zealand wine.
A must do if you like wine

5.00We were picked up at the hotel. During the drive, Karen, the guide and driver, told us all about the environment and some details of the wineries we were going to. At the wineries they served white -, rosé - and red wines. At one winery they served champagne. With every wine there was a little story. As a bonus we also went to a chocolate factory. It was a really interesting tour and we learned a lot about the Marlborough region. It was nice that it was not all about trying to sell wine to you, but more to inform you. There were three couples in our tour and the company was great. We had a lovely afternoon.
Great afternoon sampling some of Marlborough’s best

5.00We spent a very pleasant afternoon travelling between four Marlborough wineries in the area of Blenheim. Our guide/drive Keith provided great local knowledge of the wine area, and the people at the four wineries were fantastic. It was a whole afternoon experience so make sure you allocate 4 to 5 hours in your schedule to take this tour.
Perfect afternoon among the best vineyards of the region

5.00We rate 5 stars because we can’t give them a higher score, everything was perfect! Gavin was our guide, he came to pick us up at our accommodation, he was so friendly yet professional and knowledgeable! He was absolutely punctual, the van he came in was pristine, we had a lovely chat during the ride, from small talk to actual wine conversation, during which he asked for personal preferences in order to be able to pick the best wineries for us. We went to four vineyards, he couldn’t pick better! All the people we met there were lovely and informative, we purchased a few bottles for ourselves and we had the best time, really. The weather was amazing so we managed to sit outside to do the tasting, which added even more value. Absolutely recommended, definitely 10/10! The whole organization was perfect, we couldn’t ask for more. Shoutout to Gavin, an absolute legend!
Had such a lovely wine...

5.00Had such a lovely wine tour experience thanks to Gavin our tour guide/driver, sommeliers of all cellars we visited, and small tour group. Such a good introduction to white wines (as my partner and I usually drink reds). Props to the growing Marlborough Wine industry! Will definitely bring some bottles of Sauvs and Riesling for family and friends to try back home in the Philippines :)
Must do!

5.00We loved this tour and our tour leader Lyndley was so nice, accommodating my elderly mother and her needs so well which we really appreciated. It was a complete bonus when we went to Whitehaven which is our absolute favorite Sauvignon Blanc from the region. Highly recommend taking this tour!
