5.00We had a very enjoyable day visiting 5 wineries. Our host was Nic who was very knowledgeable and helpful. We never felt rushed but she kept to the timetable. However when I asked if we could spend a little longer at the lunch stop so we could include dessert she organised this with no fuss. The lunch and wines were delicious and we even had time for a quick chocolate stop too.
100% Amazing!

5.00Awesome, awesome tour and this is coming from someone who is super into wine! We were picked up from where we were staying in Picton, which was convenient. Love that we went to smaller wineries, and got personalized tastings at each one. My husband and I lucked out and were somehow the only ones taking the tour that day! Our guide, Gavin, was a hoot and knew so much about wine/viticulture; he was a jolly presence to have along throughout the day! Thanks so much, Gavin (P.S. I passed my WSET Level 2, whoohooo!)
Best Day Trip To Experience The Best Of The Marlborough

5.00We had a wonderful full day tour with Beyond the Vines. Our guide Gavin was friendly, fun and shared incredible knowledge about all the wineries and the Marlborough region. The wineries we visited were all different, beautiful tasting areas and experienced staff. We tasted many different varietels and had a lovely lunch. We shared our day with a small group of fellow tourists from many countries. We had lots of laughs & fun. Rose at Forrest Wines was our standout. She had only been at Forrest for a couple of weeks but showed so much knowledge of all their wines. All the tastings were very enjoyable and not rushed. We had time to relax & explore. We would definitely recommend this day tour. Thanks Gavin & Team
Very worthwhile

5.00Gavin was a super guide, very knowledgeable and able to talk to people with many different levels of wine knowledge. The wines themselves varied a great deal in quality - New Zealanders mostly don't seem interested in wines that can age, living in a place where most houses don't have cellars. But there is lots to learn, and some good wines to drink.
Fabulous Day

5.00What an excellent day with Glen our tour leader who was entertaining, professional, knowledgeable and engaging throughout the day, answering all our questions. The staff at all the vineyards demonstrated impressive knowledge and we all gelled as a group, enhancing the experience. The settings were beautiful and wines tasted of a very good quality. Thank you Glen for a fantastic day. Would definitely recommend to others.
Amazing start to our holiday!

5.00Literally can not say enough good things about this tour and our driver, Glenn. We had a mixed group of people from the UK, Australia and the US. It was wonderful to learn about their lives back home over delicious wines. Lunch was FABULOUS! Can’t wait to come back next year and do it all over again!
