Great winery experience

5.00I am giving a 5 star rating, should actually be a 4.8 star rating. outstanding guide and driver, on time, nice vehicle, with a great understanding of the region and the wineries. Extremely helpful as I have serious mobility problems, and was able to accommodate at every step in our tour. The only issue is that I planned to have a private lunch with my companion, however the driver sat at our table while we had lunch without asking whether it was ok, and in this case it was not ok.
A Martinborough experience you should not miss

5.00Excellent tour, extending over 6 hours. Tour group of 7, international travellers. Karen, our dedicated guide, was knowledgeable, patient, and provided great information on the district, the wineries, and the history of wine in Martinborough. The wineries visited covered a range from small “boutique” vineyards to some of the most expensive operations in the district. The tasting samples were extensive and included all the major varieties of wine grown in Martinborough. Hosts were obliging and generous, both of their time, and in the samples offered. We certainly came away from this experience with a good knowledge of the wines available in Martinborough, and more particularly with a better understanding of the differences, similarities, and the effects on climate as far as the individual wines were concerned. Highly recommended. Rp
Great day

5.00We had a fabulous time with Trinity in Martinborough. Unfortunately the train was replaced with buses and started the day off late but Trinity adjusted without putting the other guests out and replaced a wine tasting with a bottle of wine for lunch. It was an engaging and entertaining tour of Martinborough learning from a true local. We would absolutely recommend Trinity and the team for any wine tour and adventure in the region!
Great mix of wineries to visit

5.00My wife and I booked this tour and we were not disappointed. Our host, Lee, made us feel welcome and he was able to pass on his knowledge of the local area as well as leading us to four different vineyards for tasting.
