Wonderful day with Hop and Grape! - An excellent and personalized winery tour! We rode in a very comfortable van, and visited 4 wineries, and a bonus chocolate factory. Our guide was well informed. It was awesome!

Fun way to try a bunch of what Marlborough has to offer! - So much more than just Sauvignon blanc! Darlene was a great guide, and the 4 wineries (including one for lunch) were a really nice variety of places to see and taste - enough so that we bought several bottles to fly home with. Really appreciated the dinner recs as well!

Fabulous winery tour! Highly recommended - Today’s “Half Day Winos Tour” with Darlene was fantastic!! Darlene’s knowledge of wine making and particularly of wine making in the Marlborough region was brilliant. We came away knowing more than we knew when we started AND enjoyed a great selection of wines along the way. Each vineyard - we visited four; all different - shared similar types of wine with us which gave us the perfect opportunity to compare like for like and discern our preference. Lunch at the Saint Clair vineyard was delicious and reasonably priced (considering we were a captive audience) Darlene even managed to squeeze in a visit to local Makana confectioners - an added bonus. I have no hesitation in recommending Hop’n’grape Tours. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A perfect afternoon in the Marlborough Vineyards. - We had a thoroughly great afternoon on our tour of vineyards, hosted by Cam. It was a very relaxed tour, with 3 other couples in the group and plenty of time to enjoy tasting a wide selection of wines, get to know each other and absorb the detail given by the various vineyard hosts and Cam. All in all the tour was well organised and Cam was a great host and tour guide. Thank you.

PERFECTION!! - What a perfect day! We thoroughly enjoyed the half day tour with Hop n Grape and our tour guide Cam. We went to 4 great wineries whose wines and local information were enhanced by Cam's extensive knowledge. We loved the lunch at St. Clair Winery. Such a grand experience that exceeded our exceptions. We highly recommend this tour for a personal tour of Marlborough's wineries.

Brilliant fun - The half day tour was excellent . collected from our hotel, even allowed us to be later due to the ferry timing. Excellent lunch, 3 fantastic wineries and also stop at the chocolate factory. The individual wine guides were fab but the tour guide Doug was amazing. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with him leading the group. He even provided some tips for the next part of our road trip.

What a great day out. - A superb afternoon with Darlene. She collected us just before 12 and finished a d half four! Four boneyards. Amazing lunch. Truer approx 20 wines in total, including four glasses of “champagne method” bubbles. Each vineyard welcomed us and it was apparent Darlene had a great relationship with them, and a lot of respect from each. I wouldn’t hesitate to propose using them for a half or full day wine tour. Loads of fun, lots of knowledge without being talked at. Great day, will do again hopefully.

Great tour, great guide - One of the best wine tours we have done. Darlene was a great guide: very friendly and knowledgeable about wine and the wineries. Schedule was just the right length. Chocolate stop at the end was a fun bonus.
