Top Blenheim Walking Tours

The Marlborough wine region produces some of New Zealand’s most prestigious wines and lies just north of Blenheim. This half-day tour offers a comprehensive introduction to Marlborough wine, starting with a delicious lunch (own expense) at a winery restaurant. In the afternoon, visit up to four different wineries to tour the vineyards, learn about the winemaking process, and enjoy expert-led wine tastings.

Visit a range of top-rated wineries, each with their own unique ambience and winemaking style. Enjoy guided tastings at each so you better understand what you’re drinking. Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest wine-producing region but you don’t need multiple days to experience its best attractions.

Then top off your day with a sampling of gourmet chocolates. The opportunity to purchase lunch is included.
