Types of Tours

Marlborough Wine Trail

The region that put NZ sauvignon blanc on the world map. Cycle or van between 35+ cellar doors in the sunny Wairau Valley.

Central Otago Pinot Noir

The world's southernmost wine region produces exceptional pinot noir. Stunning mountain-and-lake scenery between tastings.

Waiheke Island Vineyard

A 40-minute ferry from Auckland. Boutique vineyards, olive groves, and sea views — the island produces acclaimed syrah and bordeaux blends.

Food & Wine Pairing

Combine tastings with local cheese, charcuterie, and seafood. Hawke's Bay and Martinborough specialize in full culinary experiences.

Where to Go

Marlborough

South Island

Over 150 wineries producing 77% of NZ's wine. Sauvignon blanc is king, but pinot gris and chardonnay also shine.

Central Otago

South Island

Dramatic landscapes around Queenstown and Cromwell. World-class pinot noir from the highest, coldest vineyards in NZ.

Hawke's Bay

North Island

NZ's oldest wine region. Known for full-bodied reds, chardonnay, and a thriving food scene around Napier's Art Deco centre.

Waiheke Island

Auckland

Small but mighty — 30+ vineyards on a subtropical island. Premium reds and rosé with harbour views.

Martinborough

Wairarapa

Compact, walkable village with 20+ cellar doors. Boutique pinot noir and the famous Toast Martinborough festival.

Gisborne

East Cape

NZ's chardonnay capital and the first wine region in the world to see the sunrise each day.

Tips

Don't Drive

Book a guided tour or cycle trail. NZ drink-drive limits are strict (50 mg/100 ml blood) and enforced with random checkpoints.

Visit Shoulder Season

March-April (harvest) is magical — you'll see grapes being picked and crushed. Fewer crowds than Dec-Feb.

Pace Yourself

Most tours visit 4-6 wineries. Use the spit buckets freely — they're standard practice, not rude.

Book Cellar Doors

Popular spots like Cloudy Bay and Amisfield require reservations, especially on weekends and holidays.
