Wonderful wine tour - Our guide, Bill, was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a terrific sense of humor. At the end of our tour he dropped us at two different destinations and that door to door service was greatly appreciated. The lunch we had at the first vineyard was delicious. At each vineyard we visited each host provided interesting details about their vineyard's history and the make-up of each wine. Interesting stories were given how the wines got their names and in each presenter you could see their enthusiasm for the products they were serving. The wines were delectable. Highly recommend this tour.

Not just Sauvignon Blanc! - Well organised, good choice of restaurant for lunch, personable, entertaining and informative guide. Four smaller wineries, variety of wines - not just the signature Sauvignon Blanc!

Great value tour - This was a really fantastic tour with a small group of other lovely people. Chris, who drove the bus and took us around, was very knowledgeable and we sampled a good variety of wines at 4 different wineries. Lunch at the first vineyard was very reasonably priced and lovely. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent half-day tour - We’d done a full day wine tour six ears ago and it was a little too much. This trip sounded just right. Bill picked us up at our hotel in the middle of Blenheim. After two more pickups, 4 couples were on their way. We were taken to 4 of the smaller vineyards in the region, all between Blenheim and Renwick. Lunch was an option at the first so, since we were eating out in the evening, we shared a small cheeseboard. The tastings were all first-rate. Although some of the wines weren’t ones we’d normally drink, the descriptions and the tastings were always enjoyable. To finish, we visited a small chocolate-maker. A nice way to end the day. Bill was a superb guide. He stayed with us the whole time (drinking water), and adding to the general experience with additional explanations and stories. Thoroughly recommended! 👍😁

Fun and informative - We did the half day tour and were picked up from our hotel by Bill, our driver, who did a great job of ferrying us around the 4 different vineyards and knew a lot about the area. The first stop was at Alan Scott, which was lovely but it seemed they were more interested in getting us to eat and pay for the lunch they provided than educating us on their wines. Gibson Bridge, our 3rd stop, stood out as a great family run vineyard who are passionate about their wines and made the tasting much more entertaining. All in all it was a fun half day with plenty of delicious wines on offer.

Feb 2024 - The company of Friends made the trip memorable. More time to enjoy the wineries would be nice. Looking forward to going again.
