Marlborough Wine Tour: Exclusive Half-Day Tasting Journey

Had such a lovely wine tour experience thanks to Gavin our tour guide/driver, sommeliers of all cellars we visited, and small tour group. Such a good introduction to white wines (as my partner and I usually drink reds). Props to the growing Marlborough Wine industry! Will definitely bring some bottles of Sauvs and Riesling for family and friends to try back home in the Philippines :)

We loved this tour and our tour leader Lyndley was so nice, accommodating my elderly mother and her needs so well which we really appreciated. It was a complete bonus when we went to Whitehaven which is our absolute favorite Sauvignon Blanc from the region. Highly recommend taking this tour!

We had a fantastic time with Gavin as our tour guide thru the wine country. We stopped at 4 wineries and never felt rushed. Very relaxing and the people were wonderful

Gavin was a fantastic host and shared 4 wonderful family-run wineries. We especially liked Forrest Winery where the owner tailored the wine choices to the tour group.

We had a lovely afternoon visiting 4 different vineyard 'cellar doors' and sampling 4 different wines at each location along with 8 other passengers. Our driver Keith was fantastic, giving the background to the local vine growing region. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon visiting 4 vineyards and tasting a wide selection of grapes and styles of wine. Glenn was a great tour leader - very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. We had 3 or 4 wines in each vineyard and a cheese platter at Jackson’s which was delicious and exactly what we wanted.

Way to expensive for what it was, was not a tour to look at vineyard, but nothing more than a wine tasting bash, first two wineries ok but next two we all felt we were not welcome, no snack food to counter wine, won't be recommending

We had a brilliant afternoon in a small group tour. Our guide, Lynley, made sure the ice was broken and the group were happy to chat. She had great information to instil and gave us the background on each winery we were to visit. All four wineries were very welcoming & informative on their wines which also tasted great.

Enjoyed our afternoon with Hamish, who kept us to time and provided some good tips for the rest of our trip. Wineries were good. Our only comment was that many of the selections were very similar - maybe a bit of fizz or dessert wine would have been good. The group we toured with were good fun and we really enjoyed ourselves..

I signed up on the half day tour as a solo traveller. The guide & other group members were very friendly & welcoming. We tasted lots of wonderful wines from 4 chosen vineyards, each venue unique in its own way. My favourites were Jackson vineyard & a french one which served the most amazing sparkling wine. Our guide, Lynard was lovely, she was attentive to all the guests, charismatic & just made you feel at ease & very welcomed. I’d recommend trying the tasting box at Jackson’s or the cheese toastie at the Foom vineyard. Vineyards were very generous with their tastings.
