Visit some of the oldest vines in the region and see the winemaking process - all while tasting Martinborough’s fine wines, as well as visits to Olivo for an extra virgin and infused olive oil tasting, Martinborough Brewery craft beer paddles, and a cheese experience with C'est Cheese topped off by a vineyard restaurant lunch. Please note specific activity partners may differ from advertised as they are subject to availability
Enjoy a scenic drive over the Remutaka Ranges including a short stop at the summit before descending into the stunning Wairarapa region.
The first tasting stop is at C'est Cheese in Featherston for a range of fantastic local and imported cheeses and gourmet foods. Next, we explore the heart of Martinborough â€' winemaking. Visit some of the oldest vines in the region and enjoy a winemaker-led vineyard walk learning about the vines as you go before lunch is served in amongst the vines. Try a range of locally produced world class wines in this spectacular setting.
Our next tasting stop allows you to wander amongst the oldest olive trees in Martinborough, learning about the different olive varieties and what happens throughout the olive tree's year. In the tasting room, you'll learn how to taste olive oil like a pro, and how to use extra virgin olive oil, and the full range of infused oils in quick, easy, and spectacular recipes.
The fourth stop is a craft beer tasting paddle at Martinborough Brewery. These paddles consist of your choice of any 4 of the 8 tap beers. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, craft beer tasting occurs just around the corner at the historic Martinborough Hotel.
Our final tasting experience takes in the amazing products at Schoc chocolates in Greytown where you can try some of their amazing new choc creations!

Muito bom, perto de ser excelente. Não é o mais barato, mas se justifica. O ponto de encontro estava bem indicado e fácil de achar. Vir com degustações no C'est Cheese and Schoc muda tudo. O wifi que prometiam não funcionava. Recomendo mesmo assim.

Fue el mejor día de nuestro viaje a Wellington. Pagamos bastante menos que otras opciones y la experiencia fue igual de buena. El precio de las bebidas en el lugar es exagerado. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.

Very good
I would do it again, though I would change a couple of things. Not the cheapest, but justified. The Remutaka Edinburgh area at night is something else. Drinks at the venue are wildly overpriced. Nothing serious, but worth knowing before you book.

Worth far more than what it costs. The driver pointed things out all the way to Wellington. The one suitcase and one hand luggage per passenger sorted everything. The pre booking support answered all our questions clearly. One detail: the seats are not the most comfortable on a long run. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Wellington.

Almost perfect
We had a good time, recommended with a caveat or two. Much appreciated that a tour of Olivo olive oil grove is included. They gave us plenty of notice about a schedule change. The wifi they advertised did not work. I would do it again anyway.

Vale a pena
Bom custo benefício. Depois de um voo longo, é exatamente isso que você quer. Trocamos a data dois dias antes e não houve problema. Nos deixaram em Recepção sem nenhuma cordilheiras Remutaka desnecessária. Pelo preço que pagamos, rende muito. Esperamos uns quinze minutos mais do que o combinado. Recomendo no geral.
