““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!!”              Ivete and Alice (Brazil)

“Thank you Mike! 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”                                                                                                    Janette (Australia)

Fantastic choice of wineries, very knowledgable guides and lovely chocolates.

“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 Mike’s knowledge of the wine process.

Definitely a memorable day for all of us.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Amber (UK)

“Fantastic tour ! Had a lovely day – thanks so much ”                                            Lois, UK

“Mike and Sue made our trip to Marlborough memorable. We were a small party of 6 occupying their very comfortable minibus. Both our hosts gave us a very interesting commentary as we journeyed to the vineyards. They had arranged for us to visit 5 winemakers. It would have been more if required as all we had to do was ask. 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
