Marlborough Icons Wine &
Mussel Farm Tour New Zealand
Blenheim
Marlborough wine tasting tour and much, much, more.
The Three Icons of Marlborough –
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc -, the Marlborough Sounds and
Marlborough Green Shell Mussels. Experience all three in a single
day.
Departing Blenheim, Picton or Nelson head out into the
stunning Marlborough wine region to sample the world famous
Sauvignon Blanc. Marlborough is renowned as the wine capital of
New Zealand with over half of New Zealand’s wine grown in the
region. Marlborough has gained a reputation as one of the finest
wine-growing regions in the world. See why our Sauvignon Blanc is
world famous, try the aromatic Riesling, Pinot Gris and
Gewurztraminer or sample the complexities of our Merlot and Pinot
Noir.
Visit Marlborough's Icon winery, Cloudy Bay, for a
tasting of the range of award winning wines. Enjoy the Pelorus
Bubbles, the Sauvignon Blanc, and the complexities of Te Koko
Sauvignon and Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir.
Visit "The Village" where you can try stunning
wines from a selection of boutqiue wine companies, along with
Prenzel Schnapps, Marlborough Olive oils or view the crafts of
Quilters Barn.
After a morning of wine tastings we will head
through to Havelock, the gateway to the Pelorus and Kenepuru
Sounds. Time to enjoy a nice lunch (own cost) at the Slip Inn
Cafe before boarding the Marlborough Travel launch for the
Greenshell Mussel Cruise.
Enjoy an informative and relaxing afternoon
cruising the inner Pelorus and Kenepuru Sounds. A truely unique
area, distinctively different from the Queen Charlotte Sound that
most visitors get to see while travelling on the Interisland
Ferry.
Visit a Greenshell™ Mussel farm where your skipper
will explain the intricacies of growing this delicacy in the
Sounds.
While at the mussel farm your Skipper will serve
freshly steamed mussels and serve them with a glass of Marlborough
Sauvignon Blanc. This is a really neat wine and food experience
in a beautiful part of Marlborough.
4.30pm
arrive back in the marina and re-board the coach for a 5.00pm
drop off in Blenheim, 5.30pm drop off in Picton or 6.15pm drop
off in Nelson. The end of a fantastic day out in Marlborough.
