Good 2 wineries and boat cruise around the sounds with mussels was good. Would have loved to go to a 3rd winery.
This was a wonderful tour. After I was picked up in Picton by Matt right on time, we picked up others on the tour at various places along the way, giving me the chance to see a lot of the local countryside. We then visited to two Marlborough wineries - the larger Marlborough icon Cloudy Bay and the smaller, family-run Wairau River Winery. We were given a good range of quality wines to taste at each. Throughout the winery leg of the tour Matt provided excellent commentary on the region and its wines. We then drove to the Slip Inn in Havelock for lunch before boarding the boat for a tour of that part of Marlborough Sounds. Matt then skippered the boat and provided informative commentary about the spectacular scenery we passed and the local mussel farming industry, while Lexie kept the freshly cooked greenshell mussells and local wine including some we had tasted earlier coming until we had eaten our fill.
Matt was very professional and personable. We enjoyed visiting his families' vineyard, as well as several of the Marlborough wineries. The mussel boat ride was great - the scenery, the wine, the food, and learning about the mussel growing industry knew nothing about it before!. All well done
