Half-Day Wine Tour from Blenheim

Sam was a wonderful guide and driver! He kept us entertained and informed. The wineries we visited had great representations of New Zealand wines. I enjoyed learning about the varietals, differences in soil and climate as well as the tastings. Wonderful group too!

Fabulous wine tour for a wine lover, with very friendly driver. Visited four wineries and tasted five wines at one. Excepting one, the winery host was very knowledgeable about the wines and could answer all the questions asked. Highly recommended as a very enjoyable afternoon in beautiful countryside.

This tour was sold on viator as a wine tour visiting four or five vineyards. We visited three then taken to a chocolate factory. The tour appeared advoc in its visitations to the various locations. Not precooked. The guide Brit was excellent but embarrassed at the level of service we were receiving. Our complaint to the company received this explanation “We do appreciate that you did visit 3 wineries, sometimes to include a fourth would compromise the other experiences, due to some wineries on the day offer extra tastings. It is a difficult climate in the wine region post covid, many wineries are short staffed and have reduced hours. We are reviewing our tours based on the current climate and although we are prebooked we can be canned last minute. Unfortunately we have no control over this.” Basically, they miss sold the product. Be warned and best to avoid as others on the market providing value for money.
