Overview
This country is internationally heralded for its wine and the Marlborough Wine Country is essentially the reason why. Sommeliers will tell you that there isn't another wine in the world that tastes like wine from Marlborough and that starts with the ideal combination of their climate and soil.
Its amazing how much this small region produces, while still being recognized as one of the premium wine regions anywhere on earth. Many wine lovers have heard that the best Sauvignon Blancs come from New Zealand and chances are they come from this region!
We begin our wine adventure with a 30-minute drive into the heart of Marlborough Wine Country. Your local guide will take you to some of the best wineries the area has to offer. From large vineyards with a variety of wines to small boutique vineyards that have mastered their specialties, you will walk away with a full understanding of exactly why this is one of the most heralded wine communities within the industry.
A stop to enjoy a relaxing lunch and a visit to a chocolate factory along the way complete one of the best spent days while traveling through beautiful Picton.
