Taste Martinborough wines at three top cellar doors, cross the Remutaka Ranges, and enjoy a scenic half-day trip from Wellington.
“Our tour was very enjoyable. We had never visited this area before and our guide was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the wines at all three wineries and were impressed with the girls presenting them. C’est Cheese is well worth a visit, but perhaps a little longer there would be better. I would highly recommend this tour.”
