A truly fantastic day from a start to finish.
Door to door service and simply the best driver and guide in Phil. 🙌🏼 🚌 🙌🏼
A perfect mix of 5 different vineyards’ cellar doors which all offered something different in terms of their hi(story) and learnings from the Marlborough region with its varied soils and climates.
Our lunch was quite superb at #3. Allan Scott Bistro which nicely bridged the morning & afternoon visits to #1. Clos Henri, #2. Spy Valley Wines and #4. Jackson Estate, #5. Lawson’s Dry Hills.
Would like to thank the other members of our group who made the day even more enjoyable with some good chat and banter throughout the tour.
We would both highly recommend this package and I for one would not hesitate to repeat the experience. 🗣️ “Cheers!!!” 🥂🍾🍷

Our tour guide Phil collected us from our accommodation in Picton and delivered us to a variety of wineries about which he gave as much background information as we requested. He was great company and we didn't feel rushed. We enjoyed the variety of wineries and the input from the cellar door staff at each location. As we took a whole day tour we stopped for over an hour for a delicious lunch ( not included in cost but restaurant well chosen). A lovely day to celebrate the conclusion of our Queen Charlotte track walk.

If you are arriving by ship, its quite a walk to the pick up car park but just follow the blue line. Deano is a larger than life character and is very informative. We had 9 people in his van and we all bonded well. The wine naturally helps. We visited mainly boutique vineyards and due to our ship not leaving till late Dean added an extra vineyard to the itinerary. You also visit a little chocolate outlet on the way back. The drive from Picton to the wineries takes about 30 minutes and you get good commentary on the locality before arriving at the vines. Lunch is not included in the price so allow $20-30. As the vineyards are all boutique you don't see names that you recognize from the UK supermarkets although you do pass some of the brand names such as Cloudy Bay, Brancott and Villa Maria. It may be that these do not open their doors to tourists. I was lucky I sat in the front with Dean but for a larger person and with 9 people on board the ride wouldn't have been particularly comfortable.
Dean is a personable guy and is passionate and has great knowledge about the Region.

thanks Keith, the big recongnisable vineyards are open to the public, but we like to vary all our tours and show you the full range of what Marlborough has to offer from the small family owned to the large corporate wineries. Yes we cannot pick up from the ship but if anyone needs us to and has arranged in advance we would be able to drive up closer if required, it is only a five minute walk. We have never had any complaints about our vehicles before and most people find them comfy enough. thanks

Very nice summer day spent with friends! We went to 6 different wineries, a delicious $45 set menu lunch at one of the wineries.
The tour guide, Sam, was an absolute darling and we had a really good time!
Strongly recommended!

We were fortunate that it was a small group and that we had gorgeous weather, but it would have been an excellent day regardless. Across 4 cellar doors we tasted 17 wines, from Villa Maria which we know in the UK to smaller and less known vineyards. Hamish was a great host and driver, giving us lots of info about Marlborough and the wineries we visited. The wineries themselves were very welcoming and explained their wines and their development over the years. We were really pleased that we chose this tour and would recommend it to others.

We were picked up by our guide Phil at 10am from our hotel.
There were 10 people in the group from all over the world so it was interesting to meet them. Phil took us to 6 different vineyards in the day , from the largest to the small family owned ones. At each one we tasted 4 or 5 wines. Phil gave excellent background information all day and then each vineyard gave us a wine host to explain their wines. At the third vineyard we also stayed for an excellent lunch, cost not included in tour price.
We tasted some excellent wines and also found out how we could buy some of them in the uk.

Just a beautiful tour with Seamus. He was incredible with his local knowledge and wine knowledge. It’s well worth taking this tour because the tasting fees are included and you probably won’t find the interesting wineries that they know on your own. Most importantly leave the driving to them so you don’t drink drive!

They took us to different wineries so we could experience the full range of wines from Marlborough- classic Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir but we also go to taste some of the different grape varieties Marlborough has to offer. Phil was a great host and took the groups preferences into account when deciding which vineyards to visit. I could not fault it and would really recommend it. Our group were all kiwis wanting to experience nz wines from Marlborough and they really delivered. Thanks!

Gavin our guide understands wine and imparted his knowledge when asked. He probably added more than the hosts at the Vineyards. Our 1/2 day tour on a Tuesday included 4 Vineyards with the last stop being for lunch.
There are fewer Vineyards open on Monday and Tuesday so if you are able I would pick a trip later in the week. The ones we visited were ok but in honesty we tried better wines the day before when we ventured out on our own. I would try to find out which vineyards are on the schedule before you book.

Thanks for your review. Yes you are correct there are less vineyards open on a Mon/Tues at the moment so there is fewer choices in where to go. However after wine tasting over a couple of days there is much variation in the vineyards in Marlborough and they all have their unique points of difference.

We had an amazing experience using Marlborough Wine Tours. Phil was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He took into consideration all the places we wanted to go and even added in some additional ones! It was a very seamless and fun experience and I recommend it to anyone visiting Marlborough!
