Thank you! This was a great way to see the Marlborough vineyards. We’re so glad we didn’t book the big tours on the ship. A boutique tour was so much better, more personal. Thank you – it was very enjoyable and informative and professional

Passar o dia experimentando ótimos vinhos e admirando maravilhosas vinhas e adegas… o que mais? Só um host super para completar! Foi um dia completo. Só um conselho: tome cuidado com o limite de garrafas que pode transportar. Adoramos!!

What a lovely way to see Marlborough on our shore excursion. Jade Tours were recommended by a fellow passenger and they really made our day. Fantastic choice of wineries, very knowledgable guides and lovely chocolates. Can’t wait to come back.

The Marlborough vineyards are wonderful – and so is Jade Tours. Thank you for making our tour so special. We had a “barrel of fun” and appreciated their knowledge of the wine process. The Xmas goodies were a great idea and we were made to feel so welcome wherever we went. Definitely a memorable day for all of us.

Jade Tours made our trip to Marlborough memorable. Both our hosts gave us a very interesting commentary as we journeyed to the vineyards. After tasting each makers product we finished at a chocolate factory before journeying back to Picton. The willingness of our hosts to satisfy us made the very reasonable cost a real bargain.

Tony (Canada)

Thank you for the pics. We had a terrific day with you and the group. You were extremely flexible and that is always much appreciated. Many thanks once again for making it such a special day

Wendy, (Canada)

We all had a good day out with you. All the best and good luck with the future cruises.

Bruce made the experience very special selecting 5 wineries, including one where we had a beautiful lunch. The Marlborough region is lovely and the wine tour with Jade was so enjoyable!

Lori T

Great tour. The pace was good, did not feel rushed and did not spend too much time at each place. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about wine. I would definitely recommend the tour. Be sure to buy chocolate at the last stop.

Tammy L (N. Carolina)

We enjoyed our tour with Bruce a lot.
The atmosphere was very relaxed and we could ask any questions.
Would recommend to do the full day tour!

Jade Tour ♥️ I had an amazing experience with Bruce! From start to finish, they made our tour unforgettable. Bruce was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and history about each place we visited. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and included, tailoring the experience to our interests. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, from transportation to timing, making it easy to relax and enjoy the trip. If you’re looking for a guide who is passionate, professional, and engaging, I highly recommend Bruce !

The experience was great. Bruce (our guide) is very passionate about wine and has extensive knowledge about the region in general (history, winegrowing techniques, terroir, climate etc.) and about the producers in particular. He has made a great selection of cellar doors for the visit. The lunch at Alan Scot bistro was an excellent choice for lunch. Thank you for a great trip!
