A personal message from Jimmy.......

Wine is one of life’s great pleasures and mysteries, how grapes are capable of being turned into so many flavours and textures.

Marlborough wine is the unique product of a spectacular river basin and its surrounding hills, a natural expression of the landscape.

We can visit your favourite wineries and some you’ve yet to discover, travel through the vineyards and look beyond the cellar door into the wineries that create this Marlborough magic.

The Organic Marlborough wine Tour lets you gain an insight into how the use of ancient farming practices are creating glorious Organic and Biodynamic wines.

Whatever you choose I promise a fun and informative day.

TO QUOTE FROM A MASTER

“The host had gone below to the cellar and brought up bottles of ruby, straw coloured and golden drinks, which had ripened long ago in lands where no fogs are, and had since lain slumbering in the shade.Sparkling and tingling after so long a nap, they pushed at their corks to help the corkscrew (like prisoners helping rioters to force their gates), and danced out gaily”

The Mystery of Edwin Drood - Charles Dickens.

WHO IS JIMMY?

Jimmy has worked in the Marlborugh wine industry for 20 years, in many different roles, from cellar hand to wine tutor.

He has a true love of wine and is looking forward to showing you around in his 4 wheel drive BMW.

Alfie, "The muscles from Brussels", is available for cuddles if you like dogs. He doesn't come on the tour - he finds wine too acidic.
