Day 1 - Wellington Departure: We pick you up from a central city location and make our way to the Inter-Island ferry terminal for a morning sailing. After disembarking in Picton, ride the beautiful Queen Charlotte Drive. Regarded as "one of the most scenic roads on earth" it features New Zealand native bush, views across the fiords and endless vantage points. To cap off a great day, dine with a local winemaker.
Day 2 - Sauvignon Blanc: Spin through the vines that produce international acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc. Finish with lunch at Allan Scott Winery.
Day 3 - Wairau River Valley: Ride beside the remarkable beauty of the braided Wairau River, past rural pastoral scenes and wineries, with a backdrop of alternating bush-clad or forested rolling hills, and further away, bald rugged mountains. We say goodbye over lunch at Wither Hills winery, before dropping you at Blenheim airport, or if you prefer, accompany us on the Ferry back to Wellington.
