Overview

Experience the best of beautiful Marlborough on this full-day tour. Get picked up from Blenheim in the morning and head straight to your first of two wineries. Taste award-winning Marlborough wine, talk with respected winemakers, and explore beautiful Marlborough vineyards at both locations.

Afterward, enjoy a light lunch prior to departure, then sit back for a relaxing afternoon as you join fellow travelers for our very popular Seafood Odyssea Cruise, accompanied by fresh local seafood tastings as you cruise the stunning Marlborough Sounds.

Make use of the onboard licensed bar, serving a range of Marlborough wines, along with beers, juice, and bottled water.
