We visited many wineries on our Australia/New Zealand adventure and had a lovely time at Cloudy Bay. We were on a private tour so our tasting was pre-paid and there was no problem with being served. The woman who helped us was unfailingly polite and informative and we loved the sauvignon blanc. A large tour group had the inside of... More

We went to cloudy bay excited about trying some wines, having a platter and enjoying the setting. The staff greeted us and all seemed ok until when half way through the tasting when all of a sudden we seemed to be invisible, after trying 3 of the wines we were completely ignored, we left without a platter and never did...

decided to make a stop at this winery near the end of the day. was surprised that it was really packed...and most of their staff were behind the counter offering tastings to customers. there wasn't really anyone to welcome or direct us to a place where we could get more information. from our walkabout, we noticed the lovely courtyard outside...

Stopped here at the end of a day biking around the area. This was the largest winery we visited and had a less intimate feel than many of the others but was probably the best to enjoy a glass or two and take in the nice views. Tip: The three wine sampling platter with paired tapas is good but not... More

She was made to pay her 5 dollars up front but only got one tasting and was ignored so left without buying any wine or getting the tastings... More

We had a very poor experience at Cloudy Bay. Having previously visited a number of wineries in South Africa and Australia, this was the worst. We were ignored from the moment we walked in, we waited 10 minutes and without any recognition, we decided to just walk out. Very disappointing for a place that is meant to be iconic!

One of my favourite Kiwi wines, easy to get to while staying in Blenheim and a bigger choice of wines than I can get in the bottle shops at home

Our party of 4 chose to start our day in Marlborough at the iconic Cloudy Bay. Car park was empty (due to off-season) so we were fortunate to have the exclusive attention of our cellar door host Nicky. She was extremely knowledgeable about the wines & whole area - a mine of information. We could appreciate how inviting the expansive... More

Visited Cloudy Bay on Good Friday when all of New Zealand was shut!! We wandered round the gardens which are beautiful. We called back the next day when it was open and couldn't fault anything- they had been very busy and we called late on in the day and they'd almost run out of bread for the cheese platter so... More
