Itinerary

Waitohi Picton isite Visitor Information Centre

Meet your guide at the Picton i-Site after your cruise ship docks. Then board a luxury minibus and enjoy the drive through the Koromiko mountain pass to the Marlborough wine region while your guide points out ecological and historical places of interest; this small-group tour is limited to 11 people to ensure a more intimate atmosphere. You will visit four or five cellar doors (time permitting) around the Marlborough vineyards. Taste their award winning wines and learn how Marlborough's Sauvignon Blanc has reached the pinnacle of sophistication, then take a stroll through a vineyard and learn how climate, soil, and skill combine to make these incredible wines. Marlborough is not all about Sauvignon Blanc - we have stunning Rieslings, crisp and fruity Pinot Gris, oaked and unoaked Chardonnay and our renown Pinot Noir. A stop will be made for lunch (own expense), featuring delicacies such as mussels, salmon, venison or beef when available. Alternatively, a light meal of gourmet local cheeses to pair with your wine might suffice. On the way back to the port, we stop at the chocolate factory for a nibble of hand-made gourmet chocolates. You will return to the Picton wharf at least 90 minutes before your cruise ship departs.

Amazing Picton, NZ wine tour

Published on Feb, 2025

The group was small, we were travelling in a comfy minibus, the weather was sunny and just perfect for a tour around the vineyards and wineries. Our guide John was very knolegeable and with great sense of humour. He was strict on timing so we've been able to visit all the scheduled place and then back on time to the ship. It was brilliant experience with Jade wine tours.

Terrific Tour!

Our guide Lucinda was very knowledgeable and cheerful. She grew up in the area and owns a vineyard- so she was completely plugged in to what was happening in the area, and eager to share the information. Our small group was friendly and fun, which enhanced the experience greatly. Highly recommend!

Wine and Chocolate

Fantastic tour!! Our local driver/guide was awesome!! Lucinda was very knowledgeable of both the local area and everything associated with the wine making process. She also was very concerned with everyone’s comfort and well being. We started with a visit to a chocolate factory and then 4 wineries with lunch at one of them. Awesome tour!!!!

Great Marlborough winery tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Very interesting tour. We learnt a lot about the region, particularly the wine making industry. We visited four wineries and a chocolate shop. Our guide Lucinda was informative, well organised and fun! Highly recommend this tour.

Great wine tasting experience in Picton, NZ

Published on Feb, 2025

Our group of 10 traveling from the US had the most wonderful experience with the Jade team. We scheduled through Bruce and Marsley which proved challenging with the constant itinerary changes from our cruise line. Bruce was in constant contact with us to make sure the tour was catered to our available times. We were lucky to have the most wonderful and knowledgeable guide in Marsley. It was a perfectly tailored tour that exceeded all of our expectations. All ten of us would highly recommend this team and tour if you are blessed to travel to Picton. We wish them nothing but the best with their impressive business. Ken Hermanson
