Enjoyable trip with our guide. Visited 3 wineries and the chocolate shop. Everything was fine for a regular wine tasting tour, but this was advertised as a gourmet tour with an actual wine maker with behind the scenes access. So as a regular wine tasting tour this experience was way too much money. Again it was pleasant but over priced.

A spectacular day with Cam, a great way to spend the day and see the beautiful Marlborough region if you have limited time in the area. Cam was not only a friendly, funny and incredibly knowledgeable host, he was also incredibly accommodating of us having a non-drinker in our group and arranging pick up from our cruise ship port. Very good sized group to tour around with and get to know and a great variety of wineries visited

This was an awesome tour! Cameron provided lots of information about the grape growing as we drove along the vineyards. We also got a tour of one of the winery facilities and insight into the vats/barrels they use and the process of wine making. Of course the best part was the tastings! It was all good…some different and interesting..a definite learning experience. We stopped at 4 wineries and had a great lunch at one of them. The scenery is wonderful in this areas, so the drive was a great experience, too. it was one of our favorite days in New Zealand,

What a fantastic day. It was so nice to get away since lockdown and Cam made the tour amazing. He is so knowledge about wine and very passionate about his work which makes the experience fun and interesting. Cam planned everything from the wineries to lunch, which make it such a nice, easy day for us. I highly recommend this wine tour when visiting Marlborough. Thanks again Cam for a lovely day!
