The ONLY tour with a Winemaker as your tour guide!

Here is a fun, flexible, and informative wine tour tailored for you. Let Hop ‘n Grape give you the VIP treatment and make the most of your time in Marlborough. Local Wine maker is the tour guide. Let us open doors to places you could never go without a winemaker as your tour guide, and take you on a GENUINELY UNIQUE Marlborough Wine tour, where no question is too hard. You'll swill the best - spit the rest and have a good ol’ time seeing where wine really comes from.

We all know that good wine makes you more awesome, so you'll get lots of photos to prove it. You'll also impress your friends back home with your new found understanding and appreciation of Kiwi wine.

The Marlborough Hop ’n Grape Tour starts with a behind-the-scenes gander at a modern-day winery (depending on access due to harvesting). You’ll either taste grape juice fresh from the press; sample a young Pinot Noir from the barrel; or try a freshly filtered Sauvignon Blanc.

Next, we’ll get up close and personal with the Marlborough wine region and you’ll taste any delight that isn’t tied down. There are over 40 cellar doors to choose from and because we’re super flexible (if you've got a favourite) we’ll do our best to get you there.

Lunch is always a highlight because we Kiwi’s love our tucker. If you've got a hankering for somewhere in particular, ‘can do’ is our middle name. (Lunch at your own expense)

After lunch we'll revive the circuits with Marlborough’s finest options which can include: Visiting the local Chocolate factory or visiting a stunning native garden .

Do you prefer your water with barley and hops? Good on ya mate! Marlborough is the home of just a handful of breweries, but they just happen to be ultra-premium, hand-crafted, and award winning beers and ciders! These include, Moa and Renaissance. Our adventure concludes with a famous local brewery, where you'll find cold beer, exceptional coffee and few belly laughs.
