Our wine tour will depart from the isite in Picton. Shuttle buses are provided free from the quay to the isite (a distance of 2 kms from the large ship quay) and departure times are worked around the times that ships dock and passengers are allowed to disembark. You will be returned to the Shuttle terminus a minimum of 60 minutes before the last shuttles leave for the ship.

Default departure time is 9.30am but this will vary for later arriving ships. You will be advised of your tour departure time before your ship arrives in Picton.

Don’t worry, we will make sure you’re back on time. It’s our absolute priority to return you to Picton for your shuttle connection in time for your scheduled ship departure.

Our air-conditioned minibus will depart the isite and carry you the 25 minutes to the Wairau Valley – home of the world famous Sauvignon Blanc varietal. Your local guides are full of history and discussion along the way. Our small groups offer a more personalised and rewarding experience.
