Marlborough Wine Tour and Cruise from Blenheim

the tour was amazing, heather was fantastic and took us to extra places because we had more time. Every winery was amazing and the lunch was also delicious. The cruise was beautiful and relaxing and we had such a good group. Would definitely do it again amd will recommend to others

A fantastic day! Visited some quality wineries in the morning and spent the afternoon cruising the Marlborough Sounds while enjoying a never ending supply of freshly steamed Green Shell Mussels! Not to be missed!!

Lovely day out tasting wine at three wineries (a bonus stop for bubbles) lunch and then a nice cruise on the Sound finishing with some fresh green shelled mussels. A stop at the chocolate factory on the way home. Heather was great company and looked after us. Highly recommend this trip.

Entertaining, friendly, informative, magnificent staff, really interesting, cruise, I cant recommend this trip highly enough, a great way to spend your time and money in Marlborough

Good 2 wineries and boat cruise around the sounds with mussels was good. Would have loved to go to a 3rd winery.

This was a wonderful tour. After I was picked up in Picton by Matt right on time, we picked up others on the tour at various places along the way, giving me the chance to see a lot of the local countryside. We then visited to two Marlborough wineries - the larger Marlborough icon Cloudy Bay and the smaller, family-run Wairau River Winery. We were given a good range of quality wines to taste at each. Throughout the winery leg of the tour Matt provided excellent commentary on the region and its wines. We then drove to the Slip Inn in Havelock for lunch before boarding the boat for a tour of that part of Marlborough Sounds. Matt then skippered the boat and provided informative commentary about the spectacular scenery we passed and the local mussel farming industry, while Lexie kept the freshly cooked greenshell mussells and local wine including some we had tasted earlier coming until we had eaten our fill.

AMAZING DAY - On the water and on land this was by far our best tour! Mussels, Clams, Salmon, Wine, Lunch - A

I booked this tour for my wife's birthday. Graham picked us up in a Mercedes van at our hotel in Picton he's a retired gentleman who does this on a part-time basis. We only had one other couple on the tour. I know this area is known for Sauvignon Blanc, but we prefer Chardonnay and let Graham know. He took us to two wineries the first was Cloudy Bay which is owned by the holding company which owns Louis Vuitton. It was a beautiful setting and the woman that conducted the tasting was delightful. The grounds were very green and peaceful. The second winery was Wairau River Winery, which was smaller and family owned. The lady doing the tasting was also very nice and offered more tastings that I'm sure she was supposed to. We then drove to Slip Inn for lunch outside on the water-excellent. We boarded the boat for a tour of the sound with a group of others. The captain was a nice young man and the views were beautiful. Graham cooked the mussels and everyone gathered around with wine and ate them. The captain's commentary was very interesting about growing the mussels. I'm not a big fan of them, but it was a very fun day. Graham was an excellent and friendly guide and told us a lot of interesting things on the tour. Highly recommend!

Matt was very professional and personable. We enjoyed visiting his families' vineyard, as well as several of the Marlborough wineries. The mussel boat ride was great - the scenery, the wine, the food, and learning about the mussel growing industry knew nothing about it before!. All well done
