We spent a lovely afternoon with Trinity as our guide, tasting some of the fantastic wines that are produced in the Martinborough region. Amongst others, we tasted wine from Tiwaiwaka vineyard. Normally, we like the sauvignon blanc wines, but we were treated with their Semillon wine, which we really enjoyed. They accompanied our wine tasting with a delicious lunch platter of produce from the local area. A tour to be recommended.

The tour was very thoughtfully curated and arranged with our interests in mind. Matthew went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day. I found the tour informative and well organized. It’s clear that Matthew loves introducing new people to the lovely town of Martinborough and its vineyards. The lunch at Poppie’s was excellent. My most cherished stop on the tour was the visit to Olio where we were given a lovely tour of the olive groves and tasting. I’m already planning to take another tour on my next visit to Martinborough

Seamless & professional from booking to the completion of our tour. Trinity our guide was friendly & accommodating- she shared with us just the right amount of information, and was happy to answer any questions. We visited 4 local wineries, & enjoyed the tastings. I would happily take another tour with Martinborough Wine Tours, and would recommend them to others visiting the area.

The pre trip information was very helpful and being picked up from the railway station added to the experience. Matthew proved to be an excellent tour guide, pointing out various places as we drove to Martinborough and giving us some of the history. He also pointed out the best coffee shops. Our guide ,Trinity, was friendly , informative and really good at her job. It was a pleasure to be driven around by her . Lunch at the Poppies is to be recommended ( the platter for two was excellent). We were taken to 5 different wineries on our tour , each one different in size , but all the staff we met were interesting and keen to show off their products. Special mention to John at Te Hera , he took time to explain how he made the wine and was a really genuine chap who made us very welcome . This tour is great value for money in our opinion.

We did the half day tour with Matthew as part of our package stay at the Martinborough hotel. The tour has been the highlight of our trip. Matthew is so knowledgeable & passionate about the region & its history. He’s knows the wineries & winemakers & tailors to your tastes. The van is super comfortable. The scenery stunning, and the wine = excellent! Wonderful day!

A great day! The full day tour was fabulous with a wonderful lunch at a winery. Matthew was a fantastic host and gave us great information about Martinborough. We had but six on the tour, us and a group of four. The van was very comfortable, the chosen wineries were delightful.

We had a very full day, overrunning a bit in the afternoon, but only because we wee too engaged!. Three classical cellar door tastings (5 wines each, tutored), a tour of an olive grove, a very nice lunch, topped off with an idiosyncratic but very memorable time with a solo artisanal winemaker walking us through the process with a sample of young wines at each stage. We finished tired but happy with many thanks to Trinity, our guide.

Our tour was so enjoyable we highly recommend it!! Matthew and Trinity were fabulous hosts. They were so knowledgeable and shared a great mix of history and humour. The wineries they took us to were stunning, a mix of large and small and the timing was perfect. We did the half day and stayed on to relax at Palliser for lunch which was fabulous. The rest of our tour group were doing the full day and their lunch destination seemed amazing too. Both options were great. It was just the most perfect day and the wines were fantastic. We learnt so much about each wine and will go be going back to Martinborough to soak it all up again in the future for a longer stay.

Loved Matthew and his history of Martinborough and knowledge of wine! I appreciated he let us k ow who would be in our group. The places he took us to great wineries and he obviously knew the people and the town!! A definite yes!

We took the train from Wellington to Featherston before being picked up by our fabulous Martinborough Wine Tour guide Trinity. We enjoyed this tour 6 years and couldn't wait to experience delicious wine and hospitality again. We had an amazing time visiting different wineries. They were all set among beautiful scenery, with knowledgeable staff sharing their wine passion. We also had the opportunity to eat beautiful food. Highly recommend this fabulous tour.

This was a fun and informative afternoon. I wish I had booked the full day tour! I'll be back to do this again. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took care of everything for us, it was a very enjoyable trip.

We visited 5 vineyards and had good tasting in all of them - Margrain, Schubert, Poppies, Palliser and Runholder- we had a very good meat and cheese platter for lunch at Poppies. The tour guide was very good BUT even sitting directly behind her on the mini bus I struggled to hear what she was saying - certainly people behind us could not hear at all, When I mentioned this to her - nothing was changed. So a little disappointing in that respect.

We had never been to the Martinborough area before and so thought that the easiest way to get the best out of the area wines was to take a tour. This proved to be a great idea as the tour was excellent in every way. Good range of vineyards visited (small family run and larger corporate ones) and some excellent wines tasted. Matthew was very informative and was a great guide offering good background information and knowledgeably answering any questions we had. Would have no hesitation using Martinborough Wine Tours again.

Mathew our tour leader had an exceptional knowledge of not only Martinborough's wineries and wines but the development of the village by its founder John Martin. The lunch at Poppies was delicious. The wineries we visited were excellent. We took the train from Wellington to Featherston which was a very relaxing way to travel. We were picked up from and dropped back at Featheston Station to return to Wellington.

The knowledge of the guide was breath taking. She made the tour a 5 star tour. Having such a small group also makes it such a personal experience. The small things this company does for customers is the cherry on the top!
