Sated and content - Pamela was the perfect host. She was attentive, informative but not intrusive. We were collected on time and taken to some wonderful vineyards with excellent food and wine offerings. We also experienced chocolate and champagne tastings. The tour was excellent value for money and we "rolled" out of the van when returned to our motel at 6:30pm, sated and content.

Great way to enjoy Marlborough wines. - Our day of wine tasting was Devine! Each winery gave us new and interesting varietals to savor. The wineries were each different and unique from each other. Our guide, Pamela was a delight and very informed. Would recommend to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in NZ’s great wine region.

High Expectations Surpassed - Great Day with Pamela! - My family of four spent the entire day with Pamela. It far surpassed our expectations and was definitely worth the extra money. Pamela picked us up on time at our AirBnB and we visited three wineries (Nautilus, Forrest, and Framingham), enjoying the most delicious charcuterie board at Forrest full of meats, fruits and cheeses. Then we had a delicious lunch at Withering Hills, another tasting that included delicious chocolates at No 1 and finished with a tasting and dessert at St Clair. In total, six wineries and 5 tastings. Pamela did an excellent job of blending the foodie experience with the wine tastings, something that would have been very difficult on your own. It was very clear that Pamela has built strong relationships with the wineries, we were treated “extra special” at each stop, never having to wait for seating. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

Delicious wine, excellent guide. - This tour was a lovely experience. We ended up being the only people on the tour, which meant Pamela could tailor it to our requests. Every stop was a treat with interesting wines and appropriate accompaniments, including a cheese and venison sausage tray and a chance to order from the menu for lunch. The final stop for ice cream with caramel whiskey pour over was really special.

Wonderful progressive wine and food tour! - Absolutely delightful and yummy tour with the owner Pamela. She navigate around closures and designed a wonderful tour for us on a Monday. We went to 5 wineries, including stops for a yummy cheese board, meat board, lunch and chocolate to pair with wines at our stops and then vines village fort a gin tasting, ice cream and a dessert Riesling tasting. Then on to Makana for chocolate! Pamela was knowledgeable, delightful and put together an absolutely fantastic day. Trust Pamela and Your Local Chauffeurs to ensure you have a wonderful tasting experience.

A great tour of the wine country with a wonderful local tour guide. - Pamela is a wonderful Tour Guide. She provided a leisurely tour of various Vineyards and the meals were all great. It’s a progressive meal offering which allows you to taste a full Vineyard menu as well as a variety of different types of wines to pair with the food. I could not more strongly recommend this.

Fabulous Day Wine Tasting - My husband and I had a fabulous day with Pamela. She was very entertaining and we learnt a lot about the local wine industry. We visited six vineyards and had five food tastings. It was definitely a day to remember.

Wine tour to recommend - Marlborough - We recently went on a wine tasting with Pamela - the owner of the company and it was such a great experience.
We found her trough TripAdvisor –
She actually does not only do a chauffeur service, but really is giving you a behind the scenes tour personalized based on your asks and wishes. She typically does those tours in very small groups in our case it was even only the two of us –
She was knowledgeable about the history of the area / Malborough, knowing the key families around and is everywhere welcome – when we mentioned that we do the following day a tour with her during our visit at Yealands and Nautilus estate both mentioned to us “then you are in good hands – she knows a lot”.
Pamela even brought a box of chocolates of her own to taste with the wines –
Regarding the price it might seem a little high for a few – but if you see what all was included then it is really quite good.
Initially planned 4 Wine tastings typically 20 NZD per person
One cheese platter for 2 people including a glass of wine for each
Two lunch platters for 2 people including a glass of wine for each (we decided to split one for two as it was plenty of food)
During one of the wine tastings Vanilla icrecream to go with the desert wine
And actually we ended up I think with 6 wine tastings as Pamela managed around the time and I think she would have gone even to Havelock for a meal for mussels, but we went there anyway the next day – so a splendid day starting at around 10 am in the morning finishing I think around 5.30 –
And not to forget as well good talks and discussions – just a very good time like hanging out feeling welcomed like a guest rather than a customer.
I would recommend this to those who are looking for a unique experience.
