A great day of NZ wine tastings. We visited three wineries, received first class service, and enjoyed our small group of 8. Sherri was a superb guide. She took us to a couple of lookouts before heading off to the wineries, stopped by a chocolate factory, and she even included charcuterie boards at one stop. This excursion exceeded our expectations.

Great Tour to 3 wineries with a wonderful local tour guide in a small group of 5 people. Our guide Jane was a well informed and delightful local who knew her area and local history well. This gave us a great insight into the local vineyards and terroir. She owns her own business and her small van is clean and comfortable. We had a great day.

CatherineM_W, Feb 2026

Tour leader (Sherri) was very knowledgable and engaging with our group. We didn’t feel rushed at each of the wineries and had a good cross-section of winery sizes and commercial production. The stop at the chocolate shop was a great bonus!

A fantastic day

Emma_S, Jan 2026

We had a great tour with Sherri. It was just the 2 of us on the tour so we got to visit 5 wineries instead of 4 and Sherri took us to the chocolate shop at the end. She made the tour so personal to us and went out of her way to organise it for us as we booked last minute. We had an amazing day and couldn't have asked for a better tour. We would definitely recommend Sherri and Kiwi Tours, it was first class. If we are back in NZ again we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you Sherri for such a fun day, we absolutely loved it! Thank you as well for returning my sunglasses to me after I left them in the van!! I really appreciate it.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Good to hear from you Emma, I am glad you had a great day. Was nice to meet you both and I do hope you enjoy the rest of your time in New Zealand.

Excellent Tour

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you Glenn, Appreciate your support and glad you enjoyed the wineries we went to. Safe travels.

A Day In Marlborough

Marianne_W, Dec 2025

Our guide Sherry from Kiwi Tours was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. She picked us up directly from our accommodation, which was much appreciated, and drove us to 4 wineries in the Marlborough wine region. Each had its own distinct personality and all were fun. We tasted several different styles of Sauvignon blanc, Albariño, Chardonnay & Pinot Noir. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate your support. Glad you had a good day. Was nice to meet you.

Exceptional Winery Experience

Glenn_L, Mar 2025

Sherri is a local gal and incredibly knowledgeable of both the Marlboro wine district and the local history of the Picton area. The list of wineries visited were top notch and to boot we enjoyed a fantastic sunny day. 100% recommended.
