Itinerary
We pick you up early afternoon from accommodation in and around Blenheim (pick ups further afield can be arranged at extra cost). Travelling in the comfort of our air-conditioned van, we head to the “golden mile of vineyards” in Rapaura for the first of 3 cellar doors tastings.
This tour is about wine tasting rather than lunch but offers the option to pre-order platters if you would like something to eat during the afternoon. We focus on family-owned wineries who are keen to share the story behind their wines. If you have a particular label you want to visit we will try to tailor the itinerary – please enquire.
We return you back to your accommodation between 4pm and 4:30 pm (in time for an afternoon nap before dinner).
