Brilliant wine tour by Sam. We did the full day wine tour and went to 6 different wineries, all beautiful and unique. Sam was extremely knowledgable and friendly and we had a brilliant day. Would highly recommend!

Sounds Connection provided a fun and informative wine tour. Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable in his own right and was able to provide interesting points of view that complimented the info that the various reps from the different wineries gave us. He also gave us a wonderful context about Marlborough wine country in particular and New Zealand wine in general.
