About This Experience

Built for serious wine lovers, this seven-hour private tour from Wellington goes deep into Martinborough's ancient river terraces. You'll stroll an exclusive estate with a micro-producer crafting no more than 20,000 bottles of Bordeaux- and Burgundy-style wine a year — the 2024 Merlot gorgeous with heavy viscosity, the 2024 Pinot Noir carrying kirsch and cherry overtones with truffle and tobacco notes. Lunch is decadent shared gourmet boards of locally sourced ingredients, paired with eight wine tastings led by an Alsace expert. Then a horizontal tasting walks vintages from 2016 to 2021 across two estates — six wines, led by an expert sommelier. The chef's seasonal menus celebrate local ingredients with global inspiration: market fish ceviche, sesame-crusted Akaroa salmon, Wairarapa lamb shoulder, burrata caprese and more, with artisan bread on the table. • Private seven-hour tour, available Wednesday to Sunday • Exclusive estate stroll with a 20,000-bottle-a-year micro-producer • Eight tastings with gourmet shared boards, led by an Alsace expert • Horizontal tasting of six wines, vintages 2016–2021, across two estates • Drop-off at your designated hotel or the cruise ship
