Had such a lovely wine... - 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 :)

Must do! - 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!

Wine tasting tour in Picton - 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

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.

A lovely way to spend an afternoon - 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.

Lovely afternoon wine tasting - 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.

An afternoon of wine, conversation and laughter - 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.

A fun afternoon - 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..

Marlborough Weintour: Interesting but expandable - We took part in a half-day tour of four Marlborough wineries, starting from Picton. The shuttle bus took us to Blenheim, where the wine tour began. The staff was very friendly and endeavoured to create a pleasant atmosphere. However, there were some points that we liked less. A stopover at a chocolate shop seemed more like a promotional event and did not really fit into the concept of a wine tour for us. The visits to the wineries were interesting, but the focus for our taste was too much on pure wine tasting. Everything went quite quickly, leaving little time to experience the wineries in peace. There was also a lack of opportunity to buy something to eat, which would have been desirable given the many wine tastings. We would also have liked more information about viticulture – for example a tour of the vineyards or insights into the production process. Personally, we were disappointed with the wines. They couldn't keep up with South African or Californian wines for us. Whether this was due to the selection of wineries visited, we cannot judge. However, it was striking that wine prices in wineries were relatively high – often twice as expensive as comparable or better European wines. Overall a nice tour with friendly service but with room for improvement in terms of depth of wine experience and value for money.

To much of the same - 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
