Great exoperience - The half day tour, which started with a winery lunch, was well organized but never rushed. The tour host, Vic, was fun to be with, helped us with transfers from 'Christchurch to Blenheim' train, and dropped us at our accommodations.

Discovery Tour - Amazing tour. Our guide Bill is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Four vineyards and a lovely lunch all helped to make this a memorable day. Thanks Bill we really appreciated your choice of vineyards and the wines were superb

Good experience but don’t expect red wine. - Cellar doors informative and wine tasting excellent. Only downside is that the majority of the wine was white which was not clear in the trip detail. A connoisseur would have known this as the region specialises in white wines but the lay man would not.

An excellent way to visit some wineries - An excellent way to visit some wineries, if you want to do all the wine tastings. In fact, there was a police stop on one road, with all drivers being checked with a breathalyzer! Of course, our shuttle driver wasn’t drinking or tasting.

Pretty Average as wine tour goes - It didn't start well! Kept waiting for 35 mins for the pick up called twice and told a bit delayed. Perhaps they should have called me ?? Anyway taken to the first place not given much info and not much wine. Had to share put a beaker of wine precisely 25ml each! Lunch was available but had to pay extra for that. Next place was better as the owners gave a complete history and we sampled 5 or 6 loveley wines. Our next stop was aborted as running late so went to different cellar. Very good wines. The Driver seemed very knowledgeable but didn't offer much insight as to what we were doing and it seemed a bit ad hoc at times. Another couple were put in a taxi as there pick up didn't arrive. It would have been nice for an apology perhaps and also some detail about where we were going and the itinerary. Things could have been organised better
