Daily tour itinerary
10.00am Collection from BEC Luxury Lodge.

Head out into the stunning Marlborough wine region to sample the world famous Sauvignon Blanc. Marlborough is renowned as the wine capital of New Zealand with over half of New Zealand’s wine grown in the region. See why our Sauvignon Blanc is world famous, try the aromatic Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer or sample the complexities of our Merlot and Pinot Noir.

Visit Marlborough’s Icon winery, Cloudy Bay, for a tasting of the range of award winning wines.

Visit "The Village" where you can try stunning wines from a selection of boutqiue wine companies, along with Prenzel Schnapps, Marlborough Olive oils or view the crafts of Quilters Barn.

After a morning of wine tastings we will head through to Havelock, the gateway to the Pelorus and Kenepuru Sounds. Time to enjoy a nice lunch (own cost) at the Slip Inn Cafe before boarding the Marlborough Travel launch for the Greenshell Mussel Cruise.

As we cruise out into the Marlborough Sounds you will be taking in the natural beauty and tranquillity of this stunning area. Your experienced skipper has a wealth of knowledge about the Marlborough Sounds and the people who live here. His informative commentary will keep you entertained as you cruise through the inner Pelorus Sound and into the Kenepuru Sound.

This is truly unique area, distinctively different from the Queen Charlotte Sound that most visitors get to see while travelling on the Interisland Ferry.

During the cruise you will get to visit a Greenshell™ Mussel farm where your skipper will explain the intricacies of growing this delicacy in the Sounds. Learn the history of aquaculture in the Marlborough Sounds and the history of the pioneers who created this industry.

While at the mussel farm your Skipper will serve freshly steamed mussels and serve them with a glass of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. This is a really neat wine and food experience in a beautiful part of Marlborough.

This really is a real "Taste of Marlborough".

4.30pm Arrive back in the marina and re-board the coach for a 5.00pm drop off back to BEC Luxury Lodge
The end of a fantastic day out in Marlborough.

All the components of your dinner will have been made on site using as many local Marlborough ingredients as possible.
