Martinbourough Wine Tour

From Cruise Port:    Wellington

Martinborough is a popular destination approximately one hours drive from Wellington City. Characterised by quaint little towns dotted between rolling fields of sheep, olives and grapes, it is set against a panoramic mountain backdrop, located at the centre of the Wairarapa wine region.

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

You will be picked up from your meeting point and whisked out of the city on a fast-moving motorway. While travelling through the picturesque Hutt Valley, your guide will point out some of the film sites of Lord of the Rings, including Helms Deep, Minas Tirith, River Anduin and Rivendell along the way.

A 20-minute drive over the Remutaka Mountain Range will bring us into the tranquillity of the Wairarapa region. After 10 minutes through rural roads, we arrive in the award -winning wine region of Martinborough. Wairarapas 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 tour price) that will leave your taste buds tingling. The Martinborough experience is topped off by visiting Cest Cheese in Featherston where you can indulge in an impressive selection of award-winning cheeses.
