Wonderful Experience - Wonderful tour, our guide is very knowledgeable on not only the wineries but on Wellington as well. He remembered all of our names and really made the experience that much better!

Can’t say no to wine - Fun wine tasting. Def grabbed at least one bottle. Only bummer is that this had been a bad year for red so most of the tastings were very heavy on white wines.

Michael, the top tour guide - Half-day wine tasting and chocolate factory, what a blast. Michael was our tour guide that day and he couldn't do enough for us. One couple never turned up, so we were late starting, Michael kept us up to date continuously so we weren't forgotten. We set off and the patter began, laughing and joking all the way to Martinborough winery, where a good selection of wine was tasted to my delight (I took a couple home). Next on the list was the chocolate factory, but the wife needed some retail therapy, no problem says Michael so off we go to Greytown for the wifes retail therapy, she was in her element. Then over to the chocolate factory and not to be disappointed baught a lot of chocolate (she said it was for the rest of the holiday, yeah right). Michael was so good that we both had a great time and would recommend you ask for him first. He is also an avid fisherman.

Wonderful Winery Tour! - We had a wonderful day touring wineries in Martinborough with Phil. We called him before booking to ensure the timing would work out, and the guest service was prompt, clear, professional, and helpful. We are so glad we booked! After a scenic mountainous drive, we got to tour 3 wineries and bought a delicious local lunch at one of them. The wineries were all very different and all were great experiences. The group was fun, and Phil took care to learn everyone’s names, ensure everyone was having fun, and keep the tour running on time. He shared lots of interesting and funny commentary along the way. We would absolutely recommend this tour!

Should be billed as white wine tour - Wonderful drive through the mountains and countryside. Driver, Simon, was terrific driver and guide! Only downside is 90% of wines were white and most everyone only drank red wine. Also, wines were average, nothing I found special for someone who’d been a white drinker for years and for that reason, I would not go again. Very disappointing, especially for cost.

Full Disclosure Needed - This should be billed as a white wine tour — only two red samplings served at one winery and almost everyone drank only red wine! Disappointing. Drive and scenery were well worth trip. Our driver, Simon, was the best! Excellent driver and best disposition. He made sure we were all comfortable at all times.
