Let us take you on an impressively scenic road out to the southern coast of New Zealand's North Island. We'll drive to the coast and then to Cape Palliser, the southernmost point of the North Island. We'll drive along the coast and have spectacular views of the open sea and maybe even the South Island. We'll see unusual land formations, drive through the unique fishing village of Ngawi, last the fur seal colony and then get to Cape Palliser where, if you are up for it, we'll climb the 253 steps to the lighthouse. Then we double back to Lake Ferry for lunch at the historic Lake Ferry Hotel. To complete the day we return to Martinborough to taste pinot noir at a Martinborough winery.

We spent a great day with a coffee stop at the “Land Girl Cafe”, a visit to a funny seal colony, the great view from Cape Palliser Lighthouse and a delicious lunch at the “Lake Ferry Hotel”. Our winetasting took place at the Swiss Christine and Raffael Burki at b.wine. Matthew gave us a lot of background knowledge about the region and Martinborough and we enjoyed the day very much! Thank you!:-)

Matthew was a great guide, very relaxed and very knowledgable of the area so the whole tour was great. The tour is not rushed so you have the time to climb to the lighthouse even if at a slow pace and enjoy watching all the seals play. Thankyou.....look forward to getting down that way again.
Well worth it

This tour was such good value! We had a wonderful day with Matthew. He was friendly and relaxed, but so knowledgeable about the area, the wineries and the history. We learned so much and were able to relax and just enjoy the day. The rural store stopover for morning tea was a highlight. Lunch and the winery an added bonus, after our climb up to the lighthouse. Highly recommended.

This tour is well worth doing. We had a wonderful day among some spectacular scenery. Matthew was an exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable guide who was able to give us lots of information about local history as well as the local wine industry. The lunch at the hotel was also very enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of doing it.

My wife and I undertook the half day wine tour with Matthew during our motorhome tour of New Zealand. This was most interesting and enjoyable experience. Matthew collected us from the campsite and during the tour we visited four vineyards tasting at least five wines at each stop. Matthew was a very informative guide explaining the history of Martinborough and the development of its wine industry. The wine tastings were varied with tastings of champagne, pinot noir, pinot gris, riesling, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. The undoubted highlight was a visit to John Douglas’ Te Hera vineyard where the opportunity was provided to sample riesling and pinot noir wines including a variety of the latter from a selection of barrels. An added bonus was the opportunity provided to purchase wines at each vineyard. This was a most informative and enjoyable tour which provided a good insight into the wine production industry in Martinborough and is highly recommended.
A well loved hens trip

We took our bride to be on this wine tour and it exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning our tour guide Roger treated us so kindly and patiently - he even took us to the olive gardens right at the end to give me a chance to try something as I had opted to be sober driver (so had to abstain from trying the wine). The wineries were all beautiful and the the vintner's accommodating. Very worth our time, would highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day ... our guide, the very affable Roger, provided the perfect balance of relevant information about the area and the sights, good company over a shared meal and enough time to enjoy the experience at a relaxed pace.. Martinborough is a great area to visit and the Marlborough Wine Tour - Pinot to Palliser - was an absolute highlight for us ... scenery, seals, lighthouse, great wine at the Murdoch James Estate winery. Totally recommend this tour.
