Activity itinerary

Lawson’s Dry Hills

  • 50m
  • Admission ticket included
Among the stops on your full day of Marlborough wine touring is Lawson's Dry Hills, a winery built on grit, innovation, and community. Rather than relying on a single site, Lawson's draws fruit from multiple valleys across Marlborough, giving their wines real flexibility and a genuine sense of place. The range reflects heritage and terroir, approachable yet seriously crafted, with sustainability running through everything they do. The cellar door is lined with trophies from gold medals won locally and internationally, and the tasting experience here is warm and relaxed, often including reserve or limited release wines. It's a genuine, character-filled look at Marlborough winemaking.

Picton (Pass by)

Picton is a picturesque harbour town at the top of the South Island, and a popular pickup point for our Full Day Marlborough wine tours. Set on the edge of Queen Charlotte Sound, it's the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds and a favourite stop for cruise ship visitors and ferry travellers arriving from Wellington. From Picton, it's a short, scenic drive into the heart of Marlborough's wine country, where your full day of tasting begins. With a full day ahead, guests collected from Picton get to properly experience the contrast between the sheltered coastal beauty of the Sounds and the sunny, vine-covered valleys just a short drive inland, two very different sides of Marlborough in a single day. For guests staying in Picton your tour guide will drive you through Picton and point out all of the best restaurants and places to visit.

Blenheim (Pass by)

Blenheim is the heart of Marlborough, and the natural starting point for our Full Day wine tour. Sitting in the sunny Wairau Valley and surrounded by over 150 wineries, Blenheim puts you right in the middle of New Zealand's largest and most celebrated wine region. Your full day begins here, moving between well-known producers and boutique, family-run cellar doors across the valley, with a proper sit-down lunch at a vineyard restaurant along the way. The town itself has a relaxed, welcoming feel, with excellent local restaurants, cafes, and craft breweries rounding out the experience once your day of tasting is done.

Marlborough Region

  • 1h
Marlborough is New Zealand's largest wine region, and a full day here gives you time to properly explore it. Spread across the sunny Wairau and Awatere Valleys, the region is home to over 150 wineries and is famous the world over for Sauvignon Blanc, alongside excellent Pinot Noir, aromatics, and traditional method sparkling wines. Over the course of your day, you'll move between internationally recognised producers and small, family-run cellar doors, tasting the range this region is genuinely capable of. Beyond the vines, Marlborough's scenery is stunning, from rolling vineyard plains to the mountains framing the valley. With a full day to explore, you'll leave with a real sense of why Marlborough is considered one of the world's great wine regions, not just a quick taste of it.
