It depends on what you’re after. A guided tour means a local expert leads the way, shares the stories behind the vines and wines, and handles everything from logistics to tasting costs. A self-guided tour gives you complete freedom to set your own pace and choose your own wineries. If you want a taste of both, our Morning Guided and Afternoon Self-Guided tour is the best of both worlds.

We pick you up from your Blenheim or Renwick accommodation at 9:30am in our sign-written shuttle. Tours are based out of The Vines Village on Rapaura Road, right in the heart of Marlborough wine country.
