From Summit Views to Vineyard Lushness

Set out from Wellington and cross the Remutaka Ranges, enjoying sweeping views before arriving in Featherston for a gourmet cheese tasting at C’est Cheese. Then, head to the heart of Martinborough for a vineyard walk led by a winemaker, where centuries-old vines frame your tasting before a leisurely lunch. It’s wine, history and landscape all intertwined in a single, flavour-filled stop.

Next, venture to a grove of Martinborough’s oldest olive trees to master the art of olive oil tasting and explore infused oildrizzles for culinary inspiration. Finally, round out the afternoon with a craft beer paddle at Martinborough Brewery—or, on Tues and Weds, at the historic Martinborough Hotel.

Craft Flavours and Sweet Finishes

To cap off your tour, delight in creative sweet bites at Schoc Chocolates in Greytown, where new chocolate creations await. With every palate catered to—from wine lovers to foodies and curious tasters—the day is one seamless celebration of local flavour and craftsmanship.

This full-day experience blends Martinborough’s best wine, food, and scenery into one unforgettable tour. With a relaxed pace and expert local guide, you'll discover hidden gems and local favourites while soaking in the region’s laid-back charm. It’s the perfect escape for wine lovers, foodies, or anyone looking to savour the flavours of the Wairarapa.
