Awesome day trip from Wellington. Steve was a great tour guide and unlike some of the other reviews, this was a private tour for just the two of us.
The drive over the mountain to Martinborough was very scenic and got a chance to snap a couple of pics at the top after enjoying the view.
The wineries were quite nice and the lunch a Poppie's was very good.
We didn't feel rushed at all and we would definitely do it again.
We've done some "small group" tours that weren't nearly as enjoyable as having someone who is dedicated to you to show you around and explain some history.
Two thumbs up!

Steve, our driver, picked my sister and I up from the door of our Wellington hotel. He explained the history of the areas we travelled through and pointed out the sites that we would have otherwise missed. The weather was cold and wet and sadly for us we missed some of the views but Steve's driving was excellent, we felt safe at all times despite the poor conditions. The wineries that were chosen for us were excellent as was the most amazing lunch platter at Poppies. If you are travelling to Wellington and have a day spare I could not think of a better way to spend it. I will be booking again on my next visit to Wellington.
