Martinborough Wellington Wine Tours

Unlock the hidden gem of New Zealand’s wine country in Martinborough!

➜ This easy-paced tour offers a leisurely wine-tasting experience while traveling through our rural countryside.

➜ You will be picked up from your meeting point and whisked out of the city on a fast moving motorway. We will then wind through the picturesque Hutt Valley, and along the way I will point out some of the filming sites of Lord of the Rings, including Helms Deep, Minas Tirith, River Anduin and Rivendell.

➜ A twenty minute drive over the Remutaka Mountain Range will bring us into the tranquillity of the Wairarapa region. Ten more minutes of travelling and we arrive in the award -winning wine region of Martinborough. While small in terms of total wine production, Wairarapa’s boutique wineries have big international reputations for the quality of their Pinot Noir wines, which is a notoriously difficult wine to make well.

➜ We will visit three of our favourite wineries and listen to the wine makers explaining with passion the history of their wines and inviting you to taste a variety of them.

➜ Your wine tasting will be matched with a delightful gourmet lunch platter (not included in price) that will leave your taste buds tingling.

➜ The Martinborough experience is topped off by visiting C’est Cheese in Featherston where you can indulge in an impressive selection of award winning cheeses.
