Relaxed tastings in the Martinborough area. - An excellent tour to do on a rainy day! The cheese tasting was excellent. Wine and lunch very good, but we'd always like more wine! Chocolate tasting unique. Our driver very knowledgeable and friendly. Recommended for a tour that's not too long. If it is a full tour, the van may be a little cosy, but we had only 8 on our trip which meant we had space and comfort.

Great day out. - What a fantastic day! Our guide Simon was very knowledgeable and engaging. The drive to the winery was spectacular and lunch at Moy Hall was first class. The chocolate tasting was unique and it was hard to decide what to choose. Finishing off with a cheese tasting ended an excellent tour.

Not worth it - The wine tasting had little description done in a place you had to purchase lunch. The chocolate tasting was standing up in a tiny shop squeezed in with the whole group. Overall not what I would call a foodie tour having been on them before. The driver gave no information

Not worth it - Was long beautiful drive through mountains, however the wine tasting was not good, had to pay for your own food. The chocolate tasting was at separate location and was some odd horrible chocolate flavors. Last the cheese tasting was also at separate third site with no wine. Driver didn’t stop for pics of scenery, and only talked to the passenger in front seat.
