Lisa was an exceptional driver/guide. She was a wealth of information on all things wine-related & a pleasure to talk with & listen to. The winery visits are not fixed, so know that the only thing that kept this from a 5-star review was that winery #1 & 3 were subpar compared to #2. The host at winery #1 seemed distracted and/or didn't seem able (or willing?) to pour while she was talking. As a result, some of us waited a very long time for a small tasting. The host at the 3rd winery was simply there to just pour; no real commentary. But the host at #2 (Framingham) was exceptional. He provided nice insights on the wines to be poured and was engaging with the guests.
Poor choice of wineries.

It was a quiet tour with just the two of us, and our driver Tony. He was great, super friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking to try out some stellar Marlborough wines!

We were taken to three very different wineries. A great variety and all had superb wines. Our tour guide was awesome. We were a group of six. Highly recommend. The price was right, too.
Great Marlborough wine experience

Pick up at the Blenheim I-Site was prompt, the bus was comfortable, and the whole afternoon was lovely. There were only 5 of us and we visited three vineyards plus the legendary Makana chocolate factory: Wither Hills, Framingham and Whitehaven. I believe the wineries chosen change depending on the group and what is open each day, so you might get something different. Great value and a very convenient way to visit a few cellar doors while in Blenheim.
Very good choice of...

Are group only had 8 guests which was amazing since we were able to get to know everyone. All 4 couples (including us) came from a different country which was fun and we were all in the same age group (20-30). We were taken to 3 different vineyards. Since it was march, it was a little chilly but the last vineyard gave us blankets which was really nice. Loved the experience, would do it again. Thank you to our amazing chauffeur Finn.
