The afternoon can include more wine tasting for those who have come to Marlborough especially for our sensational wines or an award winning garden or talented local artist's studio. Perhaps meet the craftsmen who make the local hand-made paua and greenstone jewellery. Spectacular high vantage points can be arranged for your photos for your very special Marlborough memories.
