Little Marlborough Wine Tours

We booked a winery tour with Dennise during our quick stop in Blenheim. She is the best. My wife and I had an incredible time and Dennise made us feel right at home. She is very knowledgeable and happy to share fun facts about the area. She helped us to create the perfect itinerary that turned into an amazing experience. Thank you, Dennise! We will be recommending to family and friends!Jennifer and Ryan

Wonderful private tour with Dennise Chirnside. Customized itinerary ending with a casual cheese plate and wine tasting. Dennise took extra time to let us see some of the premier winery architecture and shared her extensive knowledge of vineyard farming and harvesting. One of a kind experience; thank you Dennise!

We enjoyed our half-day wine tasting with Dennis very very much. She took good care of us, and chose 4 wineries to really show us what Marlborough win district is all about. Dennis was very friendly and easy to talk with. Being a local, she told us a lot about the win industry, and New Zealand in general.Dennise picked us up from our hotel in Picton, and drove us around to all the cellars we here visiting that day. At the end she even drove us back to the first win cellar, to buy yet another bottle from the first winery we visited. It was a very relaxed and enjoyable experience, and we had a wonderful time. Really recommend going on tour with Little Marlborough wine tours!

We had a brilliant day with Dennise. She's had so many years of experience locally and it really shows. She seemed to really enjoy seeing what we thought of some of the wines. She even took us back to the first winery we visited so my husband could buy some of his favourite wine of the day. It was a brilliant trip and incredibly good value. Highly recommended!

Dennise was amazing, the wines were amazing, the gourmet lunch was phenomenal and the overall experience was perfect. Dennise provided so much insight into the wine industry, and really made my girlfriend feel special on her birthday. If i could give this 6 stars out of 5 I would. Seriously, this really made for a great day touring of Blenheim wines.

We had such a great tour with Dennise today. We had a schedule of where we were going to go but as dennise found out more about our tastes the schedule changed. She took us to the most amazing lunch as well. It was all, absolutely fantastic and very personalised. Thank you so much for the exceptional day.

We had a great time on this afternoon wine tour with Dennise.We visited Rock Ferry for lunch followed by Forrest and Brancott for tastings.Dennise was very friendly and helpful.Thoroughly recommended.Hope you are keeping safe and well Dennise.Paul and Suzy

Highly recommended!From our first email through to our warm sign off at the airport, Dennise was friendly, informative, charismatic and professional. She made every touch point for my father's 80th birthday feel effortless, engaging, fun and special!There really is no comparison to a personalised wine tour, when every tasting is organised bespoke to ones palate. But Dennise's tour services extend beyond the vineyard. I'm pretty sure you could ask for anything within reason. After this experience, i will never join a generic group tour again.I cannot recommend Dennise's services highly enough - worth every penny and some - 11/10

Wine can be technical and fun, but rarely do you find someone like Dennise who integrates the two. So if you want to understand grafting on vines to the technicalities and science of wines Dennise fills that roll. If you want to enjoy the sunshine of the New Zealand vineyards, tasting and talking wine and enjoying your day Dennise delivers. The organisation of the trip was impeccable, the attention to detail was superb. Her taste in wine you will have to find out. She will make it fun and enjoyable. Dennise brings all skills to wine that you may want, but in a personal way. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

What an incredible private tour with Dennise! She is such a warm, charismatic and knowledgeable guide. My Dad and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with her and would love to return to Marlborough to do another wine tour with Dennise! Great value, interesting information and the wines were outstanding. Highly recommend booking a wine tour with Dennise to anyone visiting Marlborough!
