5.00WE booked this tour with Tony to help us celebrate my husbands 80th birthday with friends and Family from out of town to have a unique experience. Toni guided me through the whole process ad made suggestions which fitted up prefectly. We toured with 17 guests from mkorning tea, to 2 winetasting, lovely lunch, visit to the chocolate factory and finally a musical serenade in the dungeon at Framingham. What made the day most memorable was the way Toni looked after us. made sure everyone had what the needed. she took all the stress of the day out of my hand and became a caring angel. I cant thank her enough and we shall never forget this golden day. All our guests were impressed, happy and took the wonderful memories back home with them.
An amazing day with a great guide

5.00We organised a private full day tour. Luckily we had Bill for our driver who was knowledgeable, helpful and very personable. The tour was tailored to our likes which was a challenge as some of us were red wine drinkers while others white wine drinkers. We discovered some lesser known wineries and wines and particularly enjoyed Gibson Bridge vineyard and Howard’s insight. The Wine Shed tasting and lunch with Alain and Lara was exceptional. Fromm also had some delicious wines. We asked to visit Cloudy Bay but the big corporate winery was a disappointment after the intimate smaller vineyards. We wouldn’t have discovered or learnt so much about the Marlborough wine area if we had self driven around the region. Thank you Toni for organising the perfect tour for us. You’ve got a gem in Bill.
Lovely day with new friends and good wine!

5.00Our flight from the night before was cancelled which made our 10:00 wine tour impossible but the tour operator insured us that all would work out and it did. We ended up meeting the 12:00 tour at Allen Scott vineyard with the other tour members. We had a nice lunch and tasting and moved on to 3 additional wineries and a chocolate shop. Our fellow tasters from Canada and Scotland were lovely people and our tour operator Bill and his wife were also so nice and accommodating. Bills wife (Ginny I think) also gave us parting gifts of shortbread cookies which we have been savoring in moderation. Highly recommend this wine tour!
A Great day with Toni.

5.00We were taken to some lovely boutique vineyards, as this was our first time in Blenheim, we wouldn't have known where to go. We aren't big fans of Sauvignon and Toni perfectly tailored the tour to our taste. We went as a family of four and had a great day, everybody was very friendly, welcoming and informative.
Great day out

5.00Just returned from a full day tour of the Marlborough region wineries. Our tour guide Bill was a wealth of information and made the day great. Visited 5 wonderful establishments from small indecently owned to the larger more commercialised vineyards. Found all the staff to be informative and friendly. Bill made a stop at Manuka Chocolate factory in the way home. Overall we had a very pleasant day and would recommend this tour as part of your holiday experience in the area.

5.00Excellent day with Chris driving us around the Blenheim and Renwick wineries. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the splendid wines from this region, pinot gris (Wither Hills) in particular for us although the chardonnay at St Clair, Methode Champenoise at No.1, and Gewürztraminer at Gibsons boutique winery were all delicious.

5.00We did a full day tour with Bill, our driver/guide who is delightful, informative & well organised, he did an excellent job! This comprehensive tour of Marlborough showcased a wide range of wineries without the pressure of purchasing their products. Lunch is not included but there’s plenty of options to suit all budgets. Our group of 9 was like the United Nations but we blended together beautifully. I would definitely recommend this as a must do tour to learn about the region & sample some of the exceptional wines.
Great tour

5.00Chris picked us up 5 mins late due to roadworks but we had a text to let us know. The wineries we visited were great and not the ones we would have picked doing it ourselves. It was a great day with lost of tasting. We had lunch at St Claire winery which was really nice.( Not included in the price) I enjoyed most of the wines. We then went to a chocolate factory. Even I liked the tasting. So we had to have some. Dropped back where we started. It was a great day and we would never have done it on our own.
Brilliant wine tour

5.00Our guide Chris was exceptional, knowledgeable and super friendly. This was one of the highlights of our visit to the Sounds. It was an absolute privilege to be on this tour, with the guide Chris, sampling the best sauvignon blanc in the world and meeting authentic and delightful New Zealanders. There were other brilliant wines to try in the six wineries - pinot noir, fizz, rose. Thank you so much Chris. From Keith and Kathryn Myers, Yorkshire, England
