Savour great wines near your Marlborough accommodation

Personalised wine tour with your host.

Join Philip, your host, a qualified London Wine & Spirit Guild lecturer, in a unique wine tour by car, half or full day - door to door, what could be better.

If you wish a relaxed informal wine tour or are interested in the finer details of wine production, Philip will oblige. Discuss over breakfast your itinerary.

Visit your favourite Marlborough winery and/or Philip can recommend wineries, both boutique and large, which truly represent the best of Marlborough.

You will be driven to a recommended winery restaurant for lunch so you can indulge in wonderful wine and food in a relaxing setting. It may be at Highfield Restaurant, Allan Scott winery or Wairau River Winery and Restaurant.

These tours are only available to our guests.  Please let us know in advance if you would like to join Philip in a tour.

Organically grown, hand-tended, some fermented with wild yeasts, Seresin grapes are raised on a principle of working in harmony with nature. Complex flavours and palate texture feature in both Seresin wines and their wonderful extra virgin olive oil. We think their passion and commitment to their products is second to none.

Grove Mill Winery is the first winery in the world to achieve CarboNZero Certification. Enjoy a very interesting vine library, aroma demonstration art gallery and wetland area, as well as great wine!

Savor Marlborough wine

Saint Clair is our closest winery and produce many award winning wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewurtztraminer, Pinot Noir and Merlot.

We like this place - very good wine and a great building. Wither Hills Tasting Room and Cellar is a state-of-the-art development perfectly integrated with the landscape - with building materials, colours and scale reflecting the natural environment of the Wairau Valley.

Wine tour

charges from:

$150 half day per couple
$200 full day per couple

Our experience shows us that a full day wine tasting can be exhausting on the palate and the metabolism! If your itinerary allows, two half day trips may be preferable.

Lunch at a winery is an optional extra.

Alternatively why not indulge in a Marlborough Wine and Food Special Break
