Martinborough: Wine Tasting Day Tour with Lunch & Olive GroveYou’ll sip award-winning wines straight from Martinborough’s boutique vineyards, share a vineyard lunch with local flavors (and maybe new friends), walk among olive trees for a tasting, and hear stories from guides who know every corner of this wine village. It’s relaxed but quietly memorable—you might find yourself thinking back to that view or that first taste long after you leave.
Private Martinborough Wine Tour: WSET Guide, Five WineriesA private wine tour of Martinborough with a WSET Level 3 qualified guide takes you to five boutique wineries over a full morning and afternoon, tasting flagship wines and exploring barrel rooms while learning each producer's story directly from their staff. The itinerary is customized ahead of time based on your wine interests, and lunch is included at one of three vineyard venues. Pickup is available from Wellington or Masterton; individuals are welcome with a small surcharge.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to taste strategically rather than hit every winery in town—the WSET-qualified guide and pre-tour customization mean you're not following a standard route, and the five stops are chosen to match what you actually came to learn about. Solo travelers are welcome; just note the small surcharge for individual bookings.
Wairarapa Wine Tour: Small Wineries Beyond Martinborough TerraceA seven-hour wine tasting tour through Wairarapa led by a qualified wine educator explores boutique producers across Te Muna, Opaki, Gladstone and Greytown — regions outside the Martinborough Terrace that most visitors skip. The itinerary shifts with the season, the day of the week and your interests, so access opens to small, reputation-driven wineries that operate on relationships rather than foot traffic. Private transport and all tasting fees are included; lunch happens at one of the wineries or a landmark hotel. You choose pickup from Wellington, Masterton or the train station, or book the Greater Wairarapa Wine Tour option instead.Is it for me?Book this if you want to taste beyond the main Martinborough circuit — the small-winery focus and flexible itinerary mean you reach producers most visitors never find, and the educator's relationships with the owners unlock access that a standard tour cannot offer.
