What To Expect
Join Jade Tours for a relaxed, informative small-group tour (minimum 2, maximum 10) around Marlborough’s famed vineyards. Your guide will take you to 4 winery cellar doors for comprehensive tastings of Sauvignon Blanc as well as the region's other internationally acclaimed varietals. Learn about the passion and dedication behind Marlborough winemaking. The tour is at a relaxed pace, with time to enjoy the scenery and take photos. Enjoy lunch at a leading winery featuring local produce (lunch is at your own cost.) We finish the tour on a sweet note with a visit to the boutique Makana chocolate factory, where you'll find local wine features in some of the delicious creations for sale.
