Step into Marlborough’s farming heritage with a leisurely and authentic excursion.
For more than 100 years, much of Marlborough’s land was dedicated to sheep farming, producing world-class lamb and fine wool. On this special tour, Jade Tours invites you to visit a working sheep station that has been owned by the same family for five generations.
Watch skilled sheepdogs muster a mob of sheep, then see a shearing demonstration up close. Along the way, learn about the role of dogs, the traditions of sheep farming, and the deep connection between land, family, and community in Marlborough. A relaxed farmhouse morning tea is served to complete the farm experience.
Afterward, enjoy a scenic drive to one of Marlborough’s favourite winery restaurants, where a sumptuous lunch is paired with a guided tasting of local wines at your table. On the return to Picton, a sweet stop at Makana Chocolate Factory completes your day.
This excursion blends heritage, tradition, and taste — a leisurely, unhurried way to experience the true heart of Marlborough.
