Your day begins in the heart of Marlborough with guided visits to two hand-picked tasting rooms, where you’ll sample a range of the region’s acclaimed wines — from bright, zesty Sauvignon Blancs to elegant Pinot Noirs. Along the way, your guide will share insights into the region’s wine history, vineyards, and winemaking styles.

At midday, enjoy a leisurely seasonal lunch at Saint Clair, showcasing fresh, regional ingredients and thoughtfully chosen wines available for purchase by the glass. After lunch, take part in a sommelier-curated comparative tasting featuring standout wines from across New Zealand wine country. This guided session highlights the nuances of different regions — from Marlborough to Waipara to Central Otago — offering a deeper understanding of terroir, style, and craftsmanship.

To cap off the day, enjoy a sweet final stop at Makana Confections, a local favourite known for handcrafted chocolates, before returning to base.
