The Private Wines of Marlborough Experience
The Marlborough Wine Region is ready to treat your taste buds to an unforgettable palate paradise. Visit 3 to 4 different Marlborough wineries and enjoy breathtaking scenery throughout the tour.
A private wine tour through Marlborough is more than just a tasting. It's a scenic journey through one of New Zealand's most iconic wine regions. From the moment you leave Picton, you'll be surrounded by rolling vineyards, sunlit plains, and mountain views that stretch across the Wairau Valley. Travel in comfort with a local guide in a luxury vehicle. This tour is designed specifically for cruise ship guests, with the day tailored to your ship's schedule and your pace. You'll visit three to four of Marlborough's top wineries, such as Cloudy Bay, Whitehaven, Clos Henri, or Fromm, depending on availability. At each stop, enjoy hosted tastings that showcase the depth and variety of Marlborough's cool-climate wines, from crisp Sauvignon Blancs to elegant Pinot Noirs. The tour also includes a stop for lunch at a winery restaurant. Lunch is at the guest's expense. The day ends with your return to Picton, having experienced the best of Marlborough's wine, scenery, and hospitality in a relaxed and private setting.
