Colleen was our guide - friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Allowed us to decide on where to go, based on what we were looking for. Not a pre-set day. The wineries she chose were ideal, and I have to admit I was rather tiddly by the end of the afternoon! A great trip - many thanks! More

Dave, the driver, was really knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful taste of the vineyards of the region (both boutique and large), and seemed to be able to answer any question you threw at him. This was the first organised wine tasting tour I had done and was really pleasantly surprised. Would recommend to anyone. More

My husband and I travelled via cruise liner to the beautiful Picton, where we were steered in the direction of this Wine Tour operator. We were running late and didnt think that we would get on a tour but we did and in fact we were the only ones on the tour for the morning. We were greeted by one... More

We did the half day tour - our guide was great, really pleasant and he took us to lots of wineries and knew quite a bit about the area too. We loved it! More

Contrary to another comment, we thoroughly enjoyed the wine tour and would not have had the same experience without Colleen. Colleen was knowledgeable, friendly and it was all about "us". The whole day was brilliant, at our own pace and a great mixture of larger vineyards and smaller boutique ones. Colleen took note of which wines we were enjoying and... More

Great way to spend the day. Coleen was a knowledge and friendly guide. Not only did we go to a good selection of wineries but also the chocolate factory, which is not to be missed. More

We really enjoyed the vineyards and tastings; which is why I think there are so many good reviews on here. However we think the tour is extremely expensive for what you get. There is so much info on wine around Blenheim that you could very easily draw up your own itinerary and then either bike or get a taxi. This... More

We booked this on the Interisland ferry and were picked up from our hotel at exactly the agreed time. The mini bus was comfortable with air con. We were introduced to the other couples on the tour and got on really well. We visited the wineries that we wanted to and this included a delicious lunch. Colleen was a really... More

Many thanks for a very enjoyable Marlborough winery experience. We went on the all day tour and the difference in having that extra hour and a half was well worth it. What a fantastic start Saint Clair followed by tapas at Cloudy Bay. Then followed up by a visit to Allan Scott and lunch at Wirau River. If it had... More

My partner and I arrived at a B&B in the vineyards of Blenheim for three nights ...little did we know it would be pouring with rain the entire time! So at the last minute, we cancelled our day of trekking the Queen Charlotte Track and called up Highlight Wine Tours to see if we could fit into their half day... More
