Overview

Water before Wine

The morning starts on the water with Wilderness Guides, paddling out into the sheltered waters of Queen Charlotte Sound/Totaranui. A qualified guide leads the way past quiet coves and bush-clad hills, with good chances of spotting seals, rays, and native birdlife along the way.

From there, enjoy a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant in Picton, with a complimentary beverage included. You'll then be transported to Blenheim, into the heart of Marlborough's wine country, set among vineyards framed by the surrounding ranges. The afternoon includes tastings at two acclaimed cellar doors before heading back to Picton.
