Maureen was an amazing tour guide. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. The wineries we visited were beautiful and the winery lunch was delicious. A small group of 8 was just perfect. Would highly recommend

We would highly recommend going on the 'Full Day Taste Marlborough Wine Tour'. Jim, our guide, was very friendly and incredibly knowledgable, not only about wine but also Blenheim and the region. His commentary was great, and travel between vineyards very comfortable. He organised a fantastic tour around Cloudy Bay, Huia, Villa Maria and Lawson's Dry Hills, also including a delicious lunch at Allan Scott. Many thanks Jim for such a memorable day and for making it so entertaining, fun and informative.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for joining us! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Jim, he’ll be delighted! We're so glad you enjoyed the selection of vineyards and your lunch at Allan Scott. We hope to welcome you back again.
A great, full day. Maureen was early to collect us which we loved. The family wineries were special and lunch & wine tasting was nice & relaxing. A great day!!!
Thanks you for your review. I am sure Maureen made it an enjoyable day for you all.
Weather perfect, pick up/drop off well organised, driver friendly and informative, range of tastings from large corporate cellar doors to small to medium independents, enjoyed some great wines. Particularly enjoyed visit to Bayden, host was so generous with his knowledge and good fun! Great lunch 😋 at Scott's In summary, a great day out.
Our host and bus driver was very informative and entertaining. The other guests were friendly. The wineries were excellent with their lovely wines and hospitality.
Well chosen vineyards both larger and smaller. Everyone had their own identity. We got to taste good wines and got good information from our guide Pete and the vineyard owners
