Make it a full day wine experience in Martinborough, with tastings at the pick of the Martinborough wineries and a platter of local food at Poppies winery, as you pass through the countryside.
As you're picked up from Wellington, travel leisurely through the Hutt Valley and on to the Rimutaka Ranges with a view. Passing through the sleepy town of Featherston, you'll head east to Martinborough through the typical rural New Zealand countryside featuring sheep, cattle and deer.
With a choice of over 20 wineries, you'll sample some award-winning wines, including the Pinot Noirs that the region is renowned for. You'll experience informative insights from some of the region's wine experts, many of whom are entertainers in their own right.
Don't miss the chance to stop by Poppies Winery for lunch with a platter of local delicacies washed down with a complimentary glass of wine. Post-lunch the wine tasting continues or alternatively a coffee stop and some shopping can be arranged in nearby Greytown. The choice is yours. You'll return to Wellington relaxed and better off from your winery experience.
