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!

5.00Gordon was Amazing. He even added a Chocolate tasting after lunch! We visited more vineyards than I anticipated and got to sample so many varieties I had never heard of. I was especially fond of visiting The Doctors. Gordon also gave us great leads on where to get the best Fish and Chips as well as Pies along our future routes. And they were on-point!

5.00A great day out. Lynley was amazing. Looked after us so well, provided lots of info about the region. The wine tastings were great with information given by staff with a real passion. The lunch stop (which was an additional cost) was absolutely delicious. All communication by Malborough Wine tours was excellent.
