About
We offer daily Wine Tours to some of the finest wineries that Marlborough has to offer. You can choose from our Half day, Full day or Private tours to the picturesque cellar doors of our internationally famous wineries and revel in the stunning aromas and textures of their multi-award winning wines. Our wine tours are fun, informative and flexible – choose the homes of your favourite wine labels or let us show you a mixture of the internationally recognised and the boutique family-run wineries. On a private tour, you can meet the stellar wine makers and have a face to face tutorial on the secrets of viticulture and find out for yourself, the dedication and passion that goes into every bottle. You can even blend your personal vintage from the barrels on display. Jade Tours is a Destination Management company and we pride ourselves in providing an exemplary service to our guests. We will fill your holiday in Marlborough with magical memories. Our links to adventure and leisure activities and scenic bus tours around Marlborough, ensure days filled with fun. If preferred, we can package a full 5 star Marlborough experience from luxury lodges, helicopter transfers and gourmet meals and include your preferences from the Sounds in the north to the Whales in Kaikoura and all the adventure activities in between. We have visits to local breweries and gourmet food producers and local ecological attractions. Our new 12 seater luxury bus will ferry you in supreme comfort from your arrival to departure.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I had a private tour as everyone else with bookings had canceled. We felt bad for Jade Tours but it was good luck for us. Mike was phenomenal. He knew everyone at the vineyards. With just the two us, we made good time and fit in 6 vineyards. We had some great wines and a good lunch. We highly recommend Mike and Jade Tours and would do it again!

Mike of Jade Tours was an excellent guide - his small bus was the way to go, he made it an interesting and fun tour. His local knowledge of the area as well as the flora and fauna was informative and interesting.

My husband and I signed up for the half day tour and had a great experience. We were the only ones on this particular day so felt extremely lucky as it obviously felt like a personal tour! Mike our guide was very knowledgeable in his subject matter and had many interesting stories to share re the vineyards. We visited five vineyards in total (including a favourite of ours that Mike made sure to include). We had a lovely lunch and also a visit to the chocolate factory. I can highly recommend if you are in the beautiful Blenheim area. Thank you Mike for the tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour of the Marlborough wine region visiting 5 cellars in all with a stop at a chocolate shop on the way back. Our driver/guide Mike was very knowledgeable about the area and the wine tutorials at the cellars were excellent. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Wither Hills (own expense). We can highly recommend this tour.

Sue and Mike are amazing tour guides. We were staying in Picton and for a little extra money they picked us up and drove us to meet were the tour was starting in Blenheim. There were six of us in total on the tour. We left about 10:00 AM and were back around 4:30 PM (in Picton). We stopped at Forrest, Nautilus for a tasting (bought an AMAZING Albarino), had a tasting and lunch at Wither Hills, a tasting at Villa Maria, and had a final tasting at Lawson's Dry Hills. Mike is SUPER knowledgeable and great to talk to. Unlike wine tours in the states you do not feel any pressure to buy anythings. Great day - highly recommend this tour!

What a wonderful day spent with Mike from Jade Tours
The visit to the Cellar Doors of 5 winerys was excellent
The standard of tastings was brilliant and very knowledgable staff involved
Mike was great too at some inside information on many of the places as well as the regional wine industry

Mike was great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. He was familiar with the cellar doors and even deviated to additional wineries according to what we liked. Would recommend.
