Overview

  • Marlborough Ultimate Day Out puts the Marlborough Sounds and Marlborough wine into one full day with The Original Marlborough Wine Tours.

    The morning is a Beachcomber Cruises catamaran trip from Picton to Ship Cove and back. The afternoon is ours: a shared lunch platter at Saint Clair Vineyard Kitchen and tastings at 2-3 wineries, standard tasting fees included.

    The cruise is the shared Beachcomber Ship Cove run, not a private charter. It also carries Queen Charlotte Track walkers and luggage, so in peak summer it can stop at several bays on the way back.

    Staying in Blenheim? We collect you between 8.00am and 8.15am and drive you to Picton; this transfer costs more. Staying in Picton? Meet at the Beachcomber Cruises office on London Quay. The tour day runs from 9am to 4.30pm.

    Marlborough is known for Sauvignon Blanc. Family-run, with wine tours in Marlborough since 1999 and a Qualmark Gold award. Minimum 4 guests to go ahead.
