Sam our tour guide was so friendly and welcoming, his knowledge of the Marlborough wine region was amazing giving real insights into the drivers for the wine types from the region.
Thank you for your review, it's lovely to hear you enjoyed an informative wine tour with Sam.
Part of the magic of the tour were the pleasant travelers accompanying me, and Chris the driver/guide was pleasant, informative, and kept us on time and engaged. The wineries were completely different and made for good comparison of the different wines available. We were lucky with a pleasant fall day, and one of our group got a server at Forrest Cellars to sing in Māori for us! I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will do again when back in the region.
We're glad you enjoyed the tour, the wineries, and the company. It's great to hear Chris kept everyone engaged and on time. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!
Our driver, Marcella was terrific. Very friendly and a great sense of humour. We had a wonderful time visiting 3 wineries. We were very lucky to have a great group of people on board too. Had a fun day.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled Marcella made your wine tour experience enjoyable and fun. It's wonderful to hear you had a great time with your group. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hosting you again!
Just the right amount of wineries and time.
Thank you for your review.
A very enjoyable afternoon visiting three wineries and a chocolate factory. Andy, our guide, was easy going and entertaining. Not only did he know a lot about the wine making process, he had a lot of local knowledge about Picton. I left my wallet behind in the van and Andy was very kind to return it to me at my accommodation. Thank you so much Andy.
Sounds like an amazing afternoon! So glad you had a great time with Andy—he really knows how to make the experience fun! And major props to him for returning your wallet! Hope you enjoyed your tour!
