★★★★★Viator review
A half day of fun!
Meg_S, October 2026
We enjoyed the three cellar doors we visited. Steven gave us an overview of the area as we drove to the wine stops. Each had a different variety of wine to taste and the tasting pours were generous. The servers at each were knowledgeable and friendly. We particularly enjoyed the lunch platter at Poppies. So delicious!

Laura_F, September 2026
Even on an extremely windy and rainy day, our tour guide, Steve, made sure we had the best experience. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and highlighted cool facts along the way. All three wine tastings were excellent. The sommeliers were friendly and knowledgeable. You get a lot of value for the cost of the tour. I highly recommend.

Interesting and educational.
Wander782656, September 2026
The tour was a perfect way to experience the Martinborough region of New Zealand. At the end of the day I had learned so much about the area, and it's history from our guide, Stephen. And more knowledgeable about the wines of the regions from visits to three wineries.
