A wonderful afternoon of wine and sunshine

5.00We joined the tour on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Kevin was our driver and guide for the day, was very knowledgeable and looked after us all very well. We felt the tour was good value for money. You pay extra for lunch but that was made clear at the time of booking and again by Kevin at the start of the tour. We spent a very enjoyable 4 hours visiting 3 vineyards around the Blenheim area and a bonus visit to a chocolate factory where we had a little tasting. We had a wine tasting with lunch at Saint Clair which was delicious. Lunch was outside sitting in the sunshine. This was followed by a visit to Gibson Bridge where we had a tasting led by the very informative owner of the winery. Our final stop of the day was at Whitehaven which was also very enjoyable. All in all a great afternoon, thank you.

Fantastic Small-Group Marlborough Wine Tour
Cosmopolitan489973,Mar 11, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had a fantastic day with Discovery Wine Tours and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marlborough. The tour was a very small group, which made the experience relaxed and personal. Lunch at St Clair was excellent and a perfect stop during the day. One of our favorite discoveries was Gibson Bridge Winery, a tiny boutique winery we never would have found on our own. Their Pinot Gris was outstanding and one of the best wines we tasted. A big thank you to Tony, our driver, who was personable, knowledgeable, and made the day run smoothly. We loved every winery we visited and came away with several new favorites. A wonderful experience!
A day not to be missed

5.00We had a great afternoon at the wineries and wine centre with a bonus stop at the chocolatier. The new wine centre in Blenheim is an absolutely fantastic place with almost a hundred different selections to choose from and great food. The pick up and drop off worked a treat.
