Nice start to our trip to Picton.

Published on Feb, 2025

Nice cruise around the sound. Then a second company took us on the wine tour. Visited 3 wineries with a lunch included.

Good start to our time in Picton

Published on Feb, 2025

Nice beginning to our time in Picton . There are two companies that run this. One for cruise and another for the wineries. We had another booking with the winery tour. Fortunately they adjusted to take us to different wineries on each.

Ask for Hamish

Published on Mar, 2024

Marlborough Sound was amazing. Our boat showed us (the tourists) the various bays and inlets, whilst providing a community service to hikers, canoeists and locals - which gave us an insight into life in the area. Very rewarding. We were then collected from the wharf and escorted to our first winery by the Great Hamish. He is an asset to Marlborough Wine Tours and should be paid double. The whole day was definitely worth it

Delicious and enlightening Marlborough experience

Published on Feb, 2024

We took the "ultimate day out" and indeed it was. The cruise was fantastic and the wineries well chosen and selections tasty. Chocolate stop was a nice surprise. Loved the comfy van!
