We really enjoyed this tour, if you state your preferences Colleen will tailor the trip with these in mind. Very well structured with some vineyards in the morning, a lovely lunch stop (with wine) and then more in the afternoon. We also ordered a lot of wine based on those we sampled and Colleen was more than happy to advise... more

Contrary to that of the wine tours I had been on previously, the information Colleen gave us was kept succinct and interesting. She tailored the tour to suit our tastes and was a bubbly and fun guide which made the whole day much more pleasant than I'd been expecting. I also thought it was worthwhile to listen to her advice... more

This company was recommended to us by our hostel, and we were very pleased we chose them - our guide Colleen was extremely helpful and went out of her way to make sure that everyone was happy with the trip. We were asked at the start of the tour any preferences as to which wineries we wanted to go to,... more

I found Highlight Wine Tours via a web search and was very please with their prompt response to my enquiry about different tasting options.

She asked us about what sort of wines we liked before the tour began and then tailored the... more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our wine tour around the Marlborough region in May 2010.

The 3 others in our group were good company too and after the great chocolate factory stop... more

Colleen Harper gave us a wonderful wine tour that could not have been better! She catered to our specific wine likings as we went along; giving us exactly what... more

Martin from Vintners suggested and booked us on Highlight tours as we were keen on tasting wine rather than worry about driving. Colleen arrived early and chirpy and we started the tour on a high note. She was friendly and upbeat, keen on sharing her favourite vineyards and wanting to take us to ones we wanted. What we loved was... more

Highlight Wine Tours was an excellent experience. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate our tight schedule. They met us at the Interislander Ferry, dropped our bags off at our hotel while they took us on an excellent half day wine tour, and then dropped us off at our hotel. They customized the tour to suit the group's preferrences in... more
