What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Jade Tours, Blenheim 7201 New Zealand
Tour the famous Marlborough vineyards, tasting the wines and learning some of the secrets of why the wines win awards throughout the world. A stop is made for lunch (own cost) at a vineyard restaurant. Your expert local guide will collect you from your Blenheim accommodation ($40 surcharge for collection and return to Picton). Travel on board our luxury minibus through the scenic Marlborough wine region while your wine guide discusses the wines and vineyards; this small-group tour is limited to 10 people to ensure a more intimate atmosphere.
You will visit up to five cellar doors on a flexible schedule around the Marlborough vineyards - we try to match our wines to your particular tastes. Learn how Marlborough's sauvignon blanc has reached the pinnacle of sophistication, then take a stroll through a vineyard and learn how climate, soil, and skill combine to make an award-winning wine. Marlborough is not all about Sauvignon Blanc - we have stunning Rieslings, crisp and fruity Pinot Gris, oaked and unoaked Chardonnay and our renown Pinot Noir.
A stop will be made for lunch (own expense), featuring delicacies such as mussels, salmon, venison or beef when available. Alternatively, a light meal of gourmet local cheeses to pair with your wine might suffice.
On the way home, we stop at a local chocolate factory for a nibble of hand-made gourmet chocolates. We try to make this a truly memorable day !

Had a great day with Sue. It was just the 2 of us on the tour but she pulled out all the stops and made us feel extremely welcome. We covered 5 vineyards and had a great lunch. She had an excellent relationship with all the staff at the places we visited so we were treated very well. We liked that we went to both very familiar vineyards and others that we didn't know at all and had a very wide range of tastings.What a great tour with Sue. She was friendly,engaging and really knowledgeable. We shared the tour with four others who were doing the full day tour and that worked well as we were dropped back to our motel while the others had a winery lunch.

What a great tour with Sue. She was friendly,engaging and really knowledgeable. We shared the tour with four others who were doing the full day tour and that worked well as we were dropped back to our motel while the others had a winery lunch. A bonus was a stop at the chocolate factory so not only did we buy some great wine but delicious chocolates ad well. We appreciated Jade Tours responsiveness and flexibility when we booked very much only the day prior. Jade are prepared to customize tours to suit your needs and not use a one size fits all approachWe had a fantastic day! We visited 5 different vineyards and found the whole tour to be informative, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable. We learned so much and ended up buying several bottles as the wine was just exceptional! Mike was a great host who really knew his stuff.

It was our first wine tour for my partner and I and it did not disappoint Would 100% recommend to anyone traveling down south. It's perfect for those who don't have a whole day to spend in Blenheim but still want to experience a few of the great vineyards.
