About this excursion

Step into a world where fantasy meets flavour. The Fellowship of the Vine is a breathtaking 11-hour odyssey that unites the cinematic wonder of Middle‑earth with the rich tastes of Martinborough’s finest vineyards — all from your starting point in Wellington.

Your journey begins at the legendary Wētā Workshop, home of Sir Richard Taylor’s award‑winning special effects for The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, The Rings of Power, and many more. Go behind the scenes and uncover the craft that brought Tolkien’s world to life.

Then, follow the path through Middle‑earth, past the shimmering River Anduin, and into Martinborough’s renowned wine country. Here, you’ll savour tastings from three boutique wineries, paired beautifully with artisanal cheeses and a gourmet lunch among the vines.

To complete your adventure, journey on to cinematic landmarks such as Rivendell — the home of Elrond, and the epic landscapes of Isengard and Helm’s Deep.
