Marlborough Wine Tour – complimentary pick-up & drop off from Blenheim accommodation

A Stress-Free Afternoon Among the Vines

One of the best parts of this experience is how easy it is to join. Your afternoon begins with a complimentary pick-up directly from your Blenheim accommodation. This means you don’t have to worry about navigating or choosing a designated driver. Instead, you can simply hop into a comfortable, climate-controlled minivan and prepare for a day of indulgence. As you travel through the Wairau Valley, your driver-guide provides informative commentary. You will learn about the unique geography of the region, the history of the vines, and the innovative techniques that local winemakers use to stay at the top of the global market.

Visit the Region’s Best Wineries

During the four-hour tour, you will visit four of Marlborough’s most prestigious wineries. Complimentary pick-up and drop-off at central Blenheim accommodation. This variety allows you to see the difference between large-scale operations and smaller, boutique family estates. Specifically, you will have the chance to sample a wide range of varietals, including:

• Sauvignon Blanc: Taste the pungent, tropical flavors that put New Zealand on the map.
• Pinot Noir: Discover the lighter, fruit-forward reds that thrive in the cool climate.
• Aromatic Whites: Enjoy crisp pours of Pinot Gris and Riesling, which are becoming local favorites.

As you move between tasting rooms, you can take the time to stroll through the rolling vineyards and admire the rows of grapes stretching toward the Richmond Range. Consequently, you will get a true “behind-the-scenes” look at the winemaking process from grape to glass.
