Wine tour with 'The Original Marlborough Wine Tours'

What’s so great about a Blenheim Wine Tour?

Wondering why you should do a Blenheim wine tour with MWT?  You are coming to Blenheim ( or Picton ) and you have never been here before – to be honest if you have been down this way before you have probably driven right past Blenheim and not stopped.  That’s not unusual for many New Zealanders and a lot of tourist brochures also don’t rate Blenheim for more than a brief stop.  There is always a BUT – if you love wine then you must stop in New Zealand’s  best wine region.  It’s the biggest  New Zealand wine region by far, producing 80% of the country’s wine.  With around 20 cellar doors over a fairly accessible area around Blenheim – perfect for a Blenheim Wine Tour. 

As the weather warms up more cellar doors will reopen to welcome our international tourists as well.

More than just wine tasting near here

In our marketing we refer to our wine tasting tours all the time, but it’s more than just wine tasting.  Our experienced wine tour guides don’t just drive you from one wine tasting to the next.  They are really great at ensuring you have an awesome time with your group, get to know each other, have fun and taste some brilliant wine.  Check out our reviews here for confirmation of why we are ranked as one of the top wine tour companies in the region.

The benefits of touring with MWT?

Whether you know everything about wine or are just starting out on your journey and wanting to learn, our guides will make sure we customise the tour to your knowledge level.  There is a whole lot of science to wine making, but there’s also a lot of art and passion.  We try and mix the two so that you learn, have fun but don’t have to get too serious about the whole scene if you don’t want to.  It’s also great as our clientele are usually interested in having a great day out without getting too silly.

We have excellent relationships with the cellar doors so we are able to steer the cellar door host to sample wines we think you may enjoy.  As an added bonus we often get the opportunity for you to try special wines and go on behind the scenes tours at no extra cost to you.

Did we mention the gastronomic delights of winery restaurant eating while on a Blenheim Wine Tour with MWT?

Marlborough has some lovely winery restaurants and the food is divine.  We recommend having your main meal of the day whilst on tour.  Two reasons for this, it helps when wine tasting and second, the food is to die for!    We usually visit Saint Clair Vineyard Kitchen or the Picton Food Cartel at Allan Scott Family Wines

We are sure you will enjoy any of our tours while visiting Blenheim, whether it be a half or full day tour.
