Explore 26 Marlborough wine, brewery, museum, and food stops by coach for $77, with flexible hop-on hop-off travel from Picton or Blenheim.

“Overall good but it was confusing re pickup times and how they did the drop off run. Once we worked it out it was good. A couple of the stops the places hadn’t even opened when we were being dropped off we had to wait for them to open. Our driver wasn’t as enthusiastic as I would have liked but by the end of the day it didn’t matter as we had had a great time at a few of the wineries. Make sure you book a head if you want to have lunch or do tastings as most places you had to book into. We weren’t aware of that…”
