The Marlborough Tour is a full-day wine experience travelling from Nelson into New Zealand’s largest and most internationally recognised wine region. Known around the world for its exceptional Sauvignon Blanc, along with outstanding Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and aromatics, Marlborough is a destination that deserves time, space, and a full day of your attention.
The journey follows the inland route through changing valley, hill, and vineyard landscapes, with glimpses of the Marlborough Sounds as you pass through Havelock. Once in Marlborough wine country, you’ll visit four selected vineyards for included tastings, with a relaxed itinerary shaped around quality rather than rushing from stop to stop. Lunch is enjoyed at a vineyard at your own cost, and the day also includes a stop at Makana Boutique Chocolate Factory.
Along the way, CJ brings his local knowledge, easy hosting style, and personal winery connections built across years of touring both Nelson and Marlborough. With pickup and drop-off from your Nelson accommodation, tastings included at four vineyards, personal introductions, and a small-group feel throughout, this tour is ideal for guests who want to experience Marlborough properly, without the driving, planning, or guesswork.
Available October through March, when Marlborough is at its finest.
Book ahead, as this full-day tour fills early.
