My Wine Trip with Queen Charlotte Sounds Connection was extraordinary. Something to remember for many years. Choice of wineries and selected wines were perfect. Very good place for lunch stop with remarkable pork belly and Pinot Noir. My special thanks to Marcella, our Guide Lady for hospitality, communication skills and NZ wisdom shard with us. Hoping to repeat it soon. Marek

This tour was one of the highlights of my first visit to New Zealand.It was very interesting and informative.Picton was lovely but it was good to get the opportunity to see some of the surrounding country .We had a really good group of fellow passengers but the tour was made special by the driver/guide who was very informative and funny at the same time.

Amazing experience. Malborough wines was one of the reasons I came to visit NZ and wow I was blessed. We were taken to 6 wineries, had 4-5 wines to try in each one, and a lot of insights into how most wines are made. The driver Andy was as an important part of the experience as the wineries - honest and hearty introduction to the region, some history along the way and chit chat and jokes from stop to stop made the time fly by! And stopped at the chocolate factory, too! Was a nice little cherry on top! If we had more time planned around this part, would have considered one more trip!

Fantastic full day wine tour. Sam, our driver and guide was excellent. He gave us lots of interesting information about Picton, the local area as well as about the wines. We visited 6 different wineries and there was a great choice of tasty local food to choose from at Allan Scott’s where we also had lunch (at own extra cost.) The final stop was at a boutique chocolate factory, delicious samples tempted most to buy! A truly memorable day, thank you.

Had a great day with Dan as our knowledgeable host. Very informative so we could just kick back in the bus and listen and enjoy the scenery. Sam was an avid wine connoisseur himself which added to the experience plus had a host of local knowledge. Loved the day. Many thanks Rod Huntley
