The journey from Nelson to the world famous Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc growing region passes over the spectacular Mt Richmond Forest Park. A landing on the top of Mt Starveall allows views into Tasman and Cloudy Bay’s along with Nelson’s National Parks and as far north as Mt Taranaki. We then descend into Marlborough wine country via the Wairau Valley.
Each vineyard or winery visited has been chosen for its stunning locality and unique romantic story.
All are top boutique and family owned, driven by passion and enthusiasm that allows their cultural influence to show through in the consistently high quality wines.
A different theme is presented at each visit and may include wine appreciation, interacting with the wine maker, walking among the vines or perhaps enjoying tank and barrel samples during a winery tour.
The fascinating and sometimes rich ancient history is revealed as you pass into a 135 year old cellar.
This fully catered tour includes Food & wine matching as well as lunch at Marlborough’s top vineyard restaurant.
