Picton Kryssningsfartyg Strandutflykt: Marlborough Vinresa
Beskrivning
Utforska och njut av Marlboroughs vinland, känt för Sauvignon Blanc. Jade Tours tar emot små grupper (max 10 personer), guidade av en kunnig lokal guide, med en lugn takt. Från Picton I-Site åker du i en luftkonditionerad minibuss till Wairau Valley för en personlig provsmakningsupplevelse. Besök 4 lokalt ägda och familjeägda vingårdar för att smaka på regionens karakteristiska Sauvignon Blanc och andra druvsorter, lära dig om olika vinstilar och njut av de natursköna vingårdslandskapen (med tid att ta foton). Varje tur planeras utifrån ditt krypskepps specifika ankomst- och avgångstider, vilket möjliggör en flexibel resplan som maximerar din tid på land samtidigt som en bekväm återresa till hamnen säkerställs. Turen inkluderar ett stopp för lunch på en vingårdskrog (egen kostnad) och, om tiden tillåter, ett besök på en lyxchokladfabrik för provsmakningar och inköp.

Long drive to get to wineries - so if you're in for that you might enjoy. Wineries were mediocre at best. Our guide was very knowledgeable just not that much to see and very winding roads.
Very sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your day. Picton is the only port that cruise ships can go to and it is 20 minutes away from the start of the wine region. We have 34,000 hectares of vineyards so there is always going to be some distance to travel. Sorry also that you found our wines mediocre. We choose wineries that have excellent wines and have a story to tell. This gives a 'flavour' of the area. One of our wineries recently entered 10 wines in the International Wine Fair in London and, quite remarkably, won ten gold medals. Our region strives for excellence and I am very sorry you got us on an off day.
Our guide John was so informative and helpful. We had an amazing day and visited some fantastic wineries including one of our favourites Villa Maria. Our lunch was sensational and it was so good to be able to be picked up from such a central location.
Really pleased you had a great day. That's what we strive for. We choose wineries with great wines and a story to tell. Villa fits the bill perfectly. Come back anytime.
The wineries are beautiful, and the wine was really good. Did not realize that we had a long drive from the cruise ship., As it is a 1.5 hour trip to our destination and the same amount of time back. Our tour guide Gary was fabulous and I would recommend him to anyone.
Glad you enjoyed most of the tour. The wineries we choose are known for the quality of their wine and that they have a story to tell. The trip doesn't usually take that amount of time in travel from Picton to the wine region and back but we were experiencing extensive road works on the highway and that did slow things. A day with Gary is always fun so comeback and join us again anytime.
A wonderful day enjoying lunch at one beautiful winery, and then exploring three others. The added bonus of the chocolate factory was terrific. Our guide John was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative.
Glad you had a great day. We select wineries that have great wines and a story to tell so that's a good start. I have to say I did enjoy my day with you!
Great day wine tasting with John as our guide. Excellent tour! Bruce and his team plan an excellent visit and our guide John made the day even more fun.
Bruce takes particular care on which wineries we go to. They must have excellent wine, a story to tell and love seeing new people. As your guide, thank you for those kind words; it certainly was a fun day.
The wines were delicious. Lisa our driver did a great job giving us information about the area and wines.
We choose wineries with excellent wines and a story to tell. Throw Lisa into the mix and you're in for a great day! :-)
A fun experience with superb knowledgeable staff. We were tapped out after 3 wineries and really didn't properly appreciate the 4th stop, which was a shame, because they were awesome. The food at Spy Valley (charcuterie board) was top notch.
Glad you had a good day. We choose wineries with top wines and a story to tell and, sometimes, our endeavours to be hospitable can overload. Spy Valley's lunch is sensational isn't it!
What a wonderful tour. Everything was clean, safe, and on time. Our guide and driver Marsley was fun, informative and hospitable. Visited 4 great small wineries including a great lunch at one of them. Plus a bonus stop at a great chocolate factory. 1000% better than any cruise ship excursion.
Thank you for your kind comments. We do like our tours to be a little more personal than the big ones. Marsley certainly adds to that! She is a real people person.
This is a perfectly timed excursion — a great experience and a stress free return to the ship’s shuttles. Marsley was a very well informed local guide who built an itinerary that got us to 4 wineries and a delicious lunch (on our own $$). We even had time for a stop at a chocolate factory before returning to the ship. The wineries were all smaller family-owned vineyards with long histories of winemaking in Marlborough. Each one had great wines and their own character or flair that make them special. We love the local history and storytelling that made Marsley a unique guide. You will not be disappointed on this excursion!!!
We choose wineries with excellent wines and a story to tell. Combine that with Marsley's personality and you are on a winner. Glad, but not surprised, that you enjoyed your day.
We had a very small group of 10 people that were very diverse. We all got to know each other and became friends. We went to four wineries and the chocolate factory. The third winery, they gave us a beautiful charcuterie board, which was lunch. The winery was very accommodating as some of the Group did not eat meat. The wines were very good.
We choose wineries that have great wines and a story to tell. Couple that with old fashioned service and we have a winner. Bev is lovely isn't she. :-)
