Very enjoyable. Because it was 5 and a half hours including over an hours travel each way I thought it might feel like a whistle stop tour and rushed. However, it wasn’t anything like that. Our guide, Phil, is a great character. The stops at the wineries were fun and enjoyable. Options to either have food at the last winery or have something to eat in the town square suited all tastes. I’d definitely recommend this tour. Wine for breakfast on a Monday morning. What’s not to like! 😁
Simon is fantastic!!!!! definitely recommending it to everyone!
Simply amazing. Wines were tasted with help from the French lady. Very nice. The food amazing simple to order. Tom the waiter was awesome too and took.good care and great photos of us. Really loverly place Doggo freindly.
Our wine tasting experience at Poppies was a blast! Thanks to Marine who offered the best service we ever had and made the tastings so fun (15$ for tasting of 5 wines). We were glad to live the experience in French and the wine from Poppies are of exceptional quality. Marine was a passionate that transmitted her passion of wine to us. I had a perception that Poppies was the most « touristic » winehard, but what i experience was a very warm and personal tasting that I will remember for my life. Do not hesitate to choose Poppies among all the choices available in Martinborough. We did other wineries and it was in no way comparable to Poppies.
Great to for an amazing Tour Guide Gary! We learned a Lot and the wine tasting was delicious
I enjoyed the company of liked minded individuals, the driver Phil was very knowledgable and very helpful and kept us all entertained, the wine at the three wineries were great and the food was very good also the scenery was very beautiful and breathtaking, thank you so much for a wonderful experience. I haven’t laughed so much in a long while, many thanks again.
Another great winery! Wines were a bit pricier than the last place (Moy Hall) but the service from the young guy at cellar door was exceptional. We stayed for lunch and had a platter plus bread and it was so tasty! I've never seen my husband so satisfied. It was great value and fed two adults and two children. Beautiful grounds too. Highly recommend.
Phil was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, open to questions and interesting. The vehicle was comfortable and roomy. I would gladly recommend it.
We came to poppies about 8 years ago and it was fantastic. We came back this weekend. It was spectacular. The food, delightful, the ambiance was perfect, the staff so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Looking forward to coming back soon.
Poppies is divine in every way, an absolute MUST to visit. The sharing platter was beautifully curated, and the wine and tastings were exceptional. The staff here are a credit to this winery. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. A perfect spot for a relaxed, gourmet experience.
