About this activity

Join us as we journey north to Wellington’s famous wine region, the Wairarapa (Maori for 'The glistening waters'). Benefiting from New Zealand’s rich volcanic past, the alluvial soils of this region are now producing some of our best new wines. This stunning part of the country is only an hour’s drive from Wellington city, over the spectacular Rimutaka Mountain range.

Once we arrive at the beautiful historic township of Martinborough you will be treated to a visit to a selection of our favorite wineries.

As part of the trip you will learn about the amazing history of this fascinating part of the country while popping in for tastings as we meander between a premium selection of the best wineries the region has to offer.

After a relaxing morning getting acquainted with the region, your guide will select from the many wineries and cafes dotted around for a sumptuous lunch. Then allow you some time to browse the many boutique shops full of artisan cheeses and olive oils also made in the region.

After a full day experiencing the sights and tastes of the region sit back in our luxury air conditioned vehicles and enjoy the trip back to wellington City to be dropped back at your hotel.
