About Us

Jimmy Rawdon has more than 20 years’ experience working in the Marlbourough wine industry, including winemaking, vintage and vineyard work, cellar door tastings, and wine sales. He has also represented the Marlborough wine region by both sharing his wine knowledge with consumers and at trade shows and wine events.

Armed with his passion for great wine, vast local knowledge and Barolo Red Mercedes, Jimmy is on a mission to share his enthusiasm for Marlborough wine with visitors to the region and anyone wanting to find out more about our world class wine industry.

A guided tour with Jimmy is a true ‘local’s tour’. The cellar doors and wineries he visits may be lesser known on a global scale, but are well known and loved by wine buffs and locals for their warm hospitality and producing interesting and well crafted wines.

Whether you know a lot or a little about wine, or anything in between, Jimmy can provide an immersive and memorable experience that will help you make the most out of your time in Marlborough.
