Wine-curious rather than wine expert? This tour is built for you. Whether you're a couple exploring Marlborough on a longer New Zealand trip, or just short on time and after a genuine taste of the region, our Half Day Wino's Tour delivers a real Marlborough wine experience without needing a full day to do it.

We keep things small, real wineries and real conversation, not a big bus full of strangers. Your guide is a wine industry expert who knows these cellar doors personally, and often, our guides are working winemakers themselves. No pressure, no judgement if you don't know your Sauvignon Blanc from your Pinot Gris, we'll help you find what you actually enjoy.

What's Included

• Visit 3-4 wineries, with all wine tasting fees included


• Insights and stories from your wine-wise tour guide


• A stop at a vineyard restaurant for lunch (at your own cost)


• A fun, flexible afternoon, tailored to the group


• Complimentary pickup and drop-off at your accommodation in Blenheim or Renwick

What You'll Taste

Expect to taste Marlborough's world-famous Sauvignon Blanc alongside Pinot Noir, aromatics, and other varieties the region is known for, guided by someone who genuinely understands what makes each one distinct.

What to Bring

Comfortable shoes for walking through vineyard rows, and layers for New Zealand's changeable weather, even on a sunny day. 

Tour Times

Approximately 12:00pm to 4:30pm.

Pickup Note

Complimentary pickup and drop-off is available in Blenheim and Renwick. This option is not always available from Picton, Waikawa, Havelock, Rarangi, Hawkesbury, Waihopai Valley, and Lower Dillon's Point, given the extra distance involved, so please check with us before booking if you're staying in one of these areas. Our Full Day tour offers wider pickup coverage if you'd prefer guaranteed collection from further afield.
