    Great winery tour with our driver Gavin, who was very knowledgeable and we were picked up from our Airbnb in Blenheim. We visited some great vineyards, had a fab lunch at St Clair vineyard. Would definitely recommend this full day tour.

    We had booked the trip during our stay in Marlborough. We were picked up by Gavin from our accommodation at St Leonards vineyard cottages and had an amazing day. Gavin was so friendly and knowledgeable and the 5 vineyards were all great. We did 2 in the morning and one for lunch and then another 2 in the afternoon. The wines were all superb and we got introduced to wines that we had never even tasted before. Thanks so much to Gavin for making it such a memorable day and we will definitely be back ❤️🥂🤗 Pete and Sally from Plymouth

    We 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.

    Awesome, 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!)
