1.Beyond the Vines – Full-Day Marlborough Wine Tasting Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 438 reviews · from $136Our pick

Review of the full-day Marlborough wine tour from Picton or Blenheim, with five wineries, small groups, tastings, lunch, and local guides.

“The tour was phenomenal. Our guide, Gavin, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wine, the wineries, and the region. He made us all feel right at home and helped each of us get more out of the experience with stories about the wineries and the region, and with tips on how to best describe, taste, and enjoy wine. We went to five wineries, each of which was excellent and one of which had an excellent restaurant for lunch. Our tour size was small (four total) and made for a nice, intimate wine tasting experience. I highly recommend this tour, and especially Gavin!”

The van is comfortable and clean. Marsley gave us a clear plan for the day and off we went. It is about 35 minutes to the first Winery. We visited 4 Wineries with tastings at Spy Valley Winery, Framingham and Jackson. They were all beautiful and the wines very good.
