Full-Day Wine Gourmet and Scenic Delight Tour of Marlborough from Blenheim

We were collected from our accommodation near Blenheim by Cliff. He was on time and greeted us cheerfully and with a smile. There were only the two of us and so having our own personal chauffeur and guide made the trip extra special. Cliff was very chatty and as he lived locally was able to pass on his knowledge of the area and its landmarks. At each cellar door we felt relaxed and unhurried, the staff presenting, were knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had about each wine. There was no pressure to buy. We ate lunch at a winery where we weren’t tasting the wine, it consisted of a delicious meat and cheese platter and was once again relaxed and most enjoyable. Finally Cliff took us to a boutique chocolate maker, we were able to see the chocolates being made and purchase some if we wanted to. Cliff drooped us back at our accommodation at around 4pm, tired but feeling that we had had a busy but very interesting day. If you have the opportunity spend some time on one of these tours, you will learn a lot about wine and the beautiful area around Blenheim.

Pamela contacted us prior to the day to ensure that she would tailor the outing to our likes. We had a wonderful day out, tasted some beautiful wines and produce, and consider the experience was great value for money.

What a great trip around the wine area of Blenheim, very professional lady, would of been great to see a video of the wine making process by one of the growers. Would recommend this day trip. Pamala was a great host.

One of our best tours in NZ! Be sure to contact her after arranging the tour and specify exactly the types of wines/wineries you're interested in. She's a second-generation wine guide and knows the area like the back of her hand. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
