This tour was sold on viator as a wine tour visiting four or five vineyards. We visited three then taken to a chocolate factory.
The tour appeared advoc in its visitations to the various locations. Not precooked. The guide Brit was excellent but embarrassed at the level of service we were receiving. Our complaint to the company received this explanation
“We do appreciate that you did visit 3 wineries, sometimes to include a fourth would compromise the other experiences, due to some wineries on the day offer extra tastings. It is a difficult climate in the wine region post covid, many wineries are short staffed and have reduced hours. We are reviewing our tours based on the current climate and although we are prebooked we can be canned last minute. Unfortunately we have no control over this.”
Basically, they miss sold the product. Be warned and best to avoid as others on the market providing value for money.

I had an amazing time with Marcella and met some lovely people from Thames and Katikati. Marcella kept us entertained with facts and stories about the area. Another lady joined our tour at the first vineyard. A Sounds Connection employee picked her up from her holiday park and brought her to the vineyard so that she could catch the tour. We visited four vineyards which I think was just enough for an afternoon tour and we never felt rushed at any time. The hosts were very knowledgeable and willing to answer our questions about the wine making process. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Hello, I noticed we hadn't answered your comments through all these crazy times. Marcella certainly keeps us all entertained and smiling. I remember the tour as well as I was the one that the lady to catch the tour. THANJK YOU and hopefully see you again.

Very interesting afternoon. Well worth it. Getting picked up and dropped off is a good service. It was a small group and we all got on really well.

You sent a lovely review of Sounds Connection in February 2020. It reminds us of how we love what we do even during difficult time with COVID altering how we do things. If you are back in the region please look us up we are still operating. And a big THANK YOU

Loved this tour. We paid a bit extra to have them pick us up at our AirBnB in Blenheim. The wineries were beautiful and the wine was delicious.
