Highlights
Jade Tours are fun and informative, suited to any level of wine knowledge. We pick you up early afternoon from accommodation in and around Blenheim (pick ups further afield can be arranged at extra cost). Travelling in the comfort of our air-conditioned van, we head to the “golden mile” of vineyards in Rapaura for the first of 3 cellar doors visits. This tour is about wine tasting rather than lunch but offers the option to pre-order a platter if you would like something to eat during the afternoon. We focus on family-owned wineries who are keen to share the story behind their wines. If you have a particular label you want to visit we will try to tailor the itinerary – please enquire. You return to your accommodation between 4:00pm and 4:30 pm (in time for an afternoon nap before dinner).

About Blenheim
Blenheim is the main town of Marlborough, at the top of New Zealand's South Island, among Sauvignon Blanc vineyards and near the Marlborough Sounds.
Blenheim sits on the flat Wairau Plain at the top of the South Island, in the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand's largest wine region. Rows of vines run to the foot of the dry Wither Hills, and the town itself is small and green, with parks such as Pollard Park and Seymour Square and a river walk beside the Taylor.
