5.00We 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.
Excellent Tour

5.00Spent a wonderful afternoon touring and tasting the vineyards of Marlborough. Our guide Sherri was fantastic, very accommodating to our schedule and booked wineries whose wines we don’t get to try in the US as we requested. Couldn’t have had a better time. Got us back to our ship worry free. Absolutely amazing and recommend 100%.

5.00Our 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.
A great wine ecperience

5.00Sherri was a very friendly and informative guide who provided first class service and an extremely enjoyable experience. The wineries visited were very welcoming and the tastings varied but without exception delicious. We will certainly use the Wine Collective App in future.
Lovely wine tour with a very special small group feel

5.00I had a really amazing and relaxed few hours with my lovely guide Sherri. We visited 4 cellars, she picked the best. My hosts were also friendly, informative and flexible with the tastings. We also enjoyed a very tasty light platter in the stunning Forrest Cellar garden. Ive been lucky enough to visit vineyards around the world, this was the most enjoyable. Book with Sherri, you will have a great day out.
