★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 69 reviews · 4 hours · from $104Best value

Taste Marlborough wines at three top cellar doors on a relaxed four-hour tour from Blenheim, with expert guides and premium van transport.

“The tour was just fantastic. We went to three different wineries for the official tour, and tried between 4 and 5 wines in each winery. All the places were beautiful and the staff was really friendly. Although food is not included in the tour, there were delicious platters for purchase. Our guide Bruce made the experience complete. He was very knowledgable and we enjoyed his company. He went out of his way to show us another winery and a chocolate factory in addition to the regular tour. All in all, this was the perfect day and I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in wine.”
