Reviews
The small group setting made it much more enjoyable and relaxed. We toured four wineries, sampling 3-4 wines at each, with a brief visit to a chocolate shop. At the final winery, we had the option to purchase a delicious lunch. The guide provided great insights into the various wines and the winemaking process, along with the history of each winery. The vineyard views were stunning.
I visited four wineries in the Marlborough region, enjoying excellent tastings at each one. It was a laid-back day, and our driver Kevin provided a wealth of information. I highly recommend this as a cruise excursion in Picton.
Kevin was an excellent guide, making the experience very enjoyable. I appreciated the wines and the abundance of information about the region. The tour was well-organized, with only a brief wait at one winery, which was not the company's fault. Great job, Discovery Wine Tours.
We toured multiple wineries where the tastings were ample and the staff displayed great knowledge. Our driver Kevin was outstanding, offering helpful insights and guidance throughout the experience.
Our day was fantastic! The tour matched the description perfectly, if not exceeded it. Tony, our guide, was very knowledgeable and kept a relaxed pace throughout the experience. We had ample time at each location to savor the tastings and admire the diverse and intriguing settings. We sampled a nice range of wines at every stop, providing a solid overview of Marlborough’s offerings from different vineyards. The format of the tastings made it enjoyable to absorb the information while bonding with other participants, who were all friendly and added to the positive atmosphere. We highly recommend Discovery Wine Tours for an outstanding experience and great value.
Tony was an excellent host and a wonderful person. He took us to four charming, family-owned wineries. The day was unforgettable, with stunning views, fantastic wine, and delightful company. I'm looking forward to doing it again.
