Jimmy’s Classic Marlborough wine tours

A must do for a private and custom made day out in Marlborough. Jimmy was knowledgeable and able to organise the tour perfectly for our tastes, and introduce us to some new wines. Jimmy “reads the room” really well and sets his pitch to the group! Highly recommend!

We had a day tour with Jimmy in January 2022. It was fantastic and Jimmy really went out of his way to make it special. While Jimmy is very much a wine expert , he isn't a know it all" or in your face. He reads the room and gives you as much or as little information as you need. This highly personal tour was well worth it. We'd definitely do a tour with him again."

Myself and Alicia had a fabulous wine tour with Jim. Trying some lovely Marlborough Sauvignons and getting converted into Chardonnay drinkers too. A wonderful and intimate curated tour of some of the best and smaller family run wineries in the region. Would highly recommend everyone to book with Jimmy.

We had two wonderful days visiting wineries in the Marlborough region organised by Jim. He is a lovely man who is very knowledgable about both the region and the wineries being involved in the business himself. The private tours at two of the wineries were exceptional and provided a wine experience that far exceeded our expectations. The two locations for our lunches were excellent and the food was great. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jim and his tour to any lover of wine and food.

My husband and I did a wine tour with Jim while visiting New Zealand from the US, and we loved every moment of it. Jim was knowledgeable of the wine region, selected a fantastic variety of vineyards (large and small) and was a great host along the way. We would without a doubt do another wine tour with Jim next time we are in town, and highly recommend him to friends and family.

My partner Jordan and I recently had a tour with Jimmy around some of Blenheims best vineyards. It was a fantastic experience and very insightful with Jimmys knowledge of the industry. He was very accomodating and the Mercedes was luxurious to travel around in. A must do if you are in the area for a day!

The private tour with Jimmy was above and beyond the highlight of our Blenheim trip. Visited several small organic wineries, each with a unique and fascinating story and amazing wines to taste. Thanks Jimmy for the great trip, we will be booking in again on our next visit for sure!

We had the most wonderful day with jimmy, not only tasting incredible Marlborough wines at vineyards Jim had handpicked for us, but chatting with wine makers in such a real and personal way, that gave us an incredible understanding of the wine making process . We felt like we had been on an incredible educational tour as well as so relaxed and made comfortable. Jimmy booked us into a lovely restaurant for lunch that we thoroughly enjoyed. 10/10!

We had a fantastic tour with Jim, upon booking he made contact via email straight away and asked us about what kind of wine we were interested in.We are red wine drinkers and Jim took us to some fantastic wineries including Hans Herzog Estate, Clos Henri Vineyard, FROMM winery and Cloudy Bay.Jim is very knowledgeable, has great rapport with the wineries and is great company to have with you during the day.The car is super comfortable and Jim will pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation - even if you are staying out of the town like we were.All in all just a great day out, next time we are in Blenheim we will definitely be booking another day out with Jim. Thank you :-D - ps hanging out for that Grandezza from Hans Herzog, that was our stand out favourite.
