The Marlborough full-day wine tour with Jimmy

Published on Jan, 2025

The Marlborough full-day wine tour with Jimmy was absolutely fantastic! He is an excellent guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wine. He made sure everyone had a great time and shared fascinating insights about the region and the wines. I particularly enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc, which was outstanding! The whole experience was well-organized, fun, and relaxing. Thank you, Jimmy, for an unforgettable day! Highly recommended!

Jimmys classic tour really delivers!!

Absolutely excellent wine tour. Jimmy is so friendly and knowledgeable. What a great guide and a great guy. I felt like we could have spent a whole other day talking to each other and we were lucky enough to meet his lovely wife at one of the wineries. Whole heartedly recommend this tour, you absolutely cannot go wrong.

The best!

I booked Jimmy’s wine tour about a year out per excellent reviews and I am so glad I did. My husband and I had a truly memorable tour during our first time in New Zealand! Jimmy brought along his lovely wife for the tour as part of training and we were so glad he did. I think it really made the tour even more special as both of them shared their knowledge of wines and the area. We visited three different wineries and everybody knew Jimmy; we felt like VIPs and in very good hands. We learned so much from Jimmy and even tasted different grapes from the vines that he recommended. The highlight of our tour was Cloudy Bay and Jimmy was kind enough to drive us back to the winery at the end of our tour so we could buy a few more bottles of wine. Both Jimmy and his wife were engaging and interested in getting to know us. We also really enjoyed asking them so many questions and they were happy to answer them all. We did not want to say goodbye. I highly recommend this tour and will book Jimmy again if we find ourselves back in the Marlborough region.

Do yourself a fovor!

Jimmy was the best. We went to several small great wineries and everyone seemed to know Jimmy. He is very knowledgeable and helpful in understanding the nuances of New Zealand wines. Treat yourself; have Jimmy be your guide.
