Explore and enjoy Marlborough wine country, famous for Sauvignon Blanc. Jade Tours cater for small groups (maximum of 10), guided by a knowledgeable local, touring at a gentle pace.
Departing from the Picton I-Site, you travel in an air-conditioned minibus to the Wairau Valley for a personalised tasting experience. Visit 4 locally owned and family-run wineries to sample the region's distinctive Sauvignon Blanc and other varietals, learn about different wine styles, and enjoy the scenic vineyard landscapes (with time to take photos).
Each tour is planned around the specific arrival and departure times of your cruise ship, allowing for a flexible itinerary that makes the most of your time ashore while ensuring a comfortable return to port. The tour includes a stop for lunch at a vineyard restaurant (own cost) and, time permitting, a visit to a boutique chocolate factory for tastings and purchases.
