Why people choose us

Really lovely afternoon with Chris, tasting delicious wines and learning more about the local wines. Chris has amazing knowledge, and was able to answer all our questions. Highlight for me was Clos Henri, where one side of the fault line is stony ground, the other is clay. The same grapes are grown on both soils. The wine goes through the same process, but the taste is quite different. If you enjoy wine, I would thoroughly recommend taking a tour with Na Clachan.

Chris made our day very special by asking the right questions to find out where would be best to take us and he succeeded 100%. We were lucky enough to be the only two in the morning and then met up with two lovely siblings for lunch and the afternoon tour. We really value finding the wines that aren’t readily available at the supermarket and our wine Friday’s will definitely be full when we get home.

Apart from the wine tasting, my favourite part of the day was the great banter we had with Chris and prizing some personal recommendations from him. He was a little nervous about this as we bought some wines without tasting on faith. Can’t wait to email him our thoughts once we’ve tried them.

This is when a 6th star would be useful. Total staff is around 3 people, very attentive from the booking time to the final drop-off. This is a small operation that prefers to take small groups of tasters to small wineries (the Na Clachan bus is an 11-passenger van). Reviews do rave about Helen as a guide, probably appropriately: she is very nice and clearly knowledgeable. Our guide, Chris, was excellent and also ready to express his own opinions (just ask him what was the bubbly at his daughter’s wedding!). Very highly
recommended.

We wanted a half day wine tour from Picton & Na Clachan suited us fine.
We were picked up on time & transported to Blenheim where we met the rest of our group. There were 8 of us from
different parts of the world…a lovely bunch. Phil was our awesome guide. We had a lovely lunch & wine tasting at Allan Scott & then went on to Nautilus, Bladen, No. 1 and Saint Clair with a stop at Makana Confections.We highly recommend Na Clachan for a relaxed fun & informative wine tasting. Thanks so much!

We did a full day wine tasting tour with Na Clachan yesterday and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Our guide (Bill) picked us up from our air B and B in Picton and was just the most lovely, interesting man. He took us to small boutique wineries and even took requests. We went to the Alan Scott winery for lunch (between $25-$30 a head, amazing food and a beautiful restaurant) while waiting for lunch we had another tasting after lunch we went to 4 more wineries. Our group was only 6 persons so it felt like we were on a private tour and the support of the smaller vineyards was great to see (everyone’s on a first name basis) Highly recommended if you’re in the area!!!! Thank you so much.
