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.

Excellent tour to four wineries. Andy was a genial, knowledgeable host. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour as an introduction to the Marlborough Region, as well as the actual wine-tasting.

Absolutely phenomenal experience. David was the best tour guide we had on our entire trip. His energy was absolutely phenomenal and you could tell he loved doing these tours and learning about the wines alongside us.

The "hop on hop off" experience is extremely unreliable (cancelled our reservation at 9 PM the night before) so we booked this tour last minute and could not be more pleased. Extremely well organized, knowledgable tour guide, excellent winery choices. They take care of your, and the tastings come with the cost of the tour. Worth every cent!

Great wine tour, our driver Chris was very knowledgeable and took us to some really nice wineries. The half day was plenty to explore 4 different ones.

We really enjoyed our half day wine tour. Our guide Sam was informative and kind. He drove well and told us about the area, the wine, and the wineries we visited. The folks that served the wines at the wineries were friendly and informative too. We visited four wineries and ended up at a chocolate shop. I enjoyed trying the wines and talking to the others on the tour. Additionally, I felt I learned a bit about wine and the Marlborough area.

We were picked up at the Blenheim train station. There were 8 of us on the tour. We were take. To 4 wineries. Each was unique and spent time talking about their story and wine making. The driver educated us about the area as he drove us to each winery.

Really enjoyable small group tour visiting 4 vineyards for tastings in the vicinity of Blenheim. Charming and humorous driver/guide David helped make the trip very lively. The knowledge and expertise from the Vineyard hosts was excellent, particularly St Clair. Would definitely recommend.

Wines were not cold enough, but our driver was great fun! We had a good group of people and it was a fun trip. The full day may be a better trip.
