A perfect afternoon in the Marlborough Vineyards. - We had a thoroughly great afternoon on our tour of vineyards, hosted by Cam. It was a very relaxed tour, with 3 other couples in the group and plenty of time to enjoy tasting a wide selection of wines, get to know each other and absorb the detail given by the various vineyard hosts and Cam. All in all the tour was well organised and Cam was a great host and tour guide. Thank you.

PERFECTION!! - What a perfect day! We thoroughly enjoyed the half day tour with Hop n Grape and our tour guide Cam. We went to 4 great wineries whose wines and local information were enhanced by Cam's extensive knowledge. We loved the lunch at St. Clair Winery. Such a grand experience that exceeded our exceptions. We highly recommend this tour for a personal tour of Marlborough's wineries.

Brilliant fun - The half day tour was excellent . collected from our hotel, even allowed us to be later due to the ferry timing. Excellent lunch, 3 fantastic wineries and also stop at the chocolate factory. The individual wine guides were fab but the tour guide Doug was amazing. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with him leading the group. He even provided some tips for the next part of our road trip.

What a great day out. - A superb afternoon with Darlene. She collected us just before 12 and finished a d half four! Four boneyards. Amazing lunch. Truer approx 20 wines in total, including four glasses of “champagne method” bubbles. Each vineyard welcomed us and it was apparent Darlene had a great relationship with them, and a lot of respect from each. I wouldn’t hesitate to propose using them for a half or full day wine tour. Loads of fun, lots of knowledge without being talked at. Great day, will do again hopefully.

Great tour, great guide - One of the best wine tours we have done. Darlene was a great guide: very friendly and knowledgeable about wine and the wineries. Schedule was just the right length. Chocolate stop at the end was a fun bonus.

Enjoyable Wine Tasting Experience - Our half day wine tour was excellent. Our guide/driver, Darlene was exceedingly accommodating and knowledgeable. The four wineries selected were boutique and / or well known. The wine servings were generous and well presented by interesting vintners. We had a superb lunch at St. Clair winery. We ended our tour at the Makana chocolate factory. Having experienced wine tours in numerous countries internationally, we found Hop n’ Grape to be exceedingly good value and well executed. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Wonderful experience whilst learning and tasting of delicious wine and food in Marlborough - My family had an incredible experience with Doug Avery as our guide during the Hop n Grape half day tour. We all learned so much from Doug and the staff at the various wineries. The day was perfectly planned which included an amazing lunch and the chocolate factory! I highly recommend Hop n Grape tours to truly experience the passion for the growing, making and tasting of delicious Marlborough wines. It really shows the strength of their community and hard work that goes into an excellent bottle of wine.
