Marlborough Icons Full-Day Tour: Two Wineries and Seafood Cruise on Queen Charlotte Sound
Please note that over winter 2026 this tour runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays only. The day pairs wine with water. After a morning pickup in Blenheim, the group goes straight to the first of two wineries. At both, guests taste award-winning Marlborough wine, talk with winemakers and walk through the vineyards. A light lunch comes before departure for the afternoon's Seafood Odyssea Cruise, a popular one, with fresh local seafood tastings while the boat moves through the Marlborough Sounds. The vessel is a luxury one, the route follows Queen Charlotte Sound, and the commentary covers local history. The licensed bar on board pours Marlborough wines, beers, juice and bottled water.
