Wine-focused Martinborough day tour with a WSET Level 3 guide, visiting five boutique wineries with tastings, possible barrel samples, and vineyard lunch.

Tour Overview

Explore Martinborough with a WSET Level 3 qualified guide on a wine-focused day through this part of the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail. The tour centres on boutique, reputation-driven wineries, with a personalised itinerary shaped around your wine interests where booking time allows.

Across the day, you typically visit five leading wineries and stop for a relaxed vineyard lunch. Tastings may include flagship wines, current and library wines, and barrel samples, depending on the wineries selected and your requirements. One visit can feature an elevated wine tour with a tour of winery facilities, tasting flagship wines and a barrel tasting with a qualified sommelier. Another may include a guided tasting of current and library wines with a trained staff member, lunch, or an informal tasting.

You may also enjoy a guided tasting of the wines, including some flagships, an outline of history, and a walk among the vines with a trained staff member. Other visits can include a tour and explanation of the vineyard and winery surrounds, with a tasting of wines including flagships, or an elevated wine tasting experience followed by a vineyard platter lunch from Monday to Thursday.

Actual wineries visited vary by season, day of the week, and your interests, so the final route is personalised and optimised from the available options.
