Let our winemaker tailor a Marlborough wine tour especially for you or your group’s needs… or let us surprise you with something special! You decide the start and finish time of the tour. Visit your favourite wineries without having to compromise with others in the group.
You can get behind the scenes for a private tasting, or take a drive through the Awatere Valley and soak up Marlborough’s stunning scenery. We can focus on boutique, or organic wineries, breweries, combine fine wine and food… anything is possible with a private tour.
This option is recommended for larger groups or families with children under the age of 12. We can visit wineries more suited to young families to keep everyone happy.
If you are arriving on a cruise ship into Picton we can arrange a tour that works around your ship’s schedule.

Myself and my wife booked in for a private wine tour with these guys and we absolutely loved it! Darlene was our tour guide and she was brilliant! She was so full of knowledge and made sure we had the best time. We got taken to a lot of smaller, family-owned vineyards which we loved.
Would highly recommend!

The tour was customised for our family with two children - it worked so well with four adults and two little ones. Cam gave our daughter and partner time to relax and enjoy the wine and surroundings in each place without rushing us on. It was great to get the winemaker's perspective at the first winery, to see how a small, organic company works from the vines to the bottle. Lunch was leisurely, tasting happened while we ate a delicious meal. We visited one more winery, chocolate factory, then a brewery which was a good finish for our two men. Thank you, Cam, for a great day out, for your knowledge and very well put-together tour. Highly recommended.
