Description

Good to Know

Let our winemaker tailor a Marlborough wine tour especially for you or your group’s needs… or let us surprise you with something special! You decide the start and finish time of the tour. Visit your favourite wineries without having to compromise with others in the group. You can get behind the scenes for a private tasting, or take a drive through the Awatere Valley and soak up Marlborough’s stunning scenery. We can focus on boutique, or organic wineries, breweries, combine fine wine and food… anything is possible with a private tour. This option is recommended for larger groups or families with children under the age of 12. We can visit wineries more suited to young families to keep everyone happy. If you are arriving on a cruise ship into Picton we can arrange a tour that works around your ship’s schedule.

Leuke wijnproeverij met lekkere wijn en leuke begeleidster Amanda

De wijntoer was heel leuk met lekkere wijn om te proeven. Amanda, onze begeleidster was heel aangenaam en leuk. Is zeker een aanrader.

Home away from home...an incredible tour

Sometimes in life what starts looking like a disaster turns into one of the most memorable experiences of a lifetime. My wife and I booked a private winery tour with Hop and Grape on the recommendation of our hotel, and had some preliminary email contact discussing options. On the appointed date we waited...and waited....and waited.... for our tour operator and after almost an hour reached out to the company, very frustrated and upset with the delay. As it turns out, the operator picked up th...read more

Hop n Grapes Doug is a rock star

Hop n Grapes from start to finish had excellent communication, customization, detailed instructions and updates that I appreciated. When we arrived and encountered our guide Doug I knew immediately it was going to be an amazing day. We started off with a lovely walk along an estuary with black swan, ducks and other birds. Then he whisked off to our first of 4 very different wine tastings. In between we had a wonderful lunch on a outdoor garden patio surrounded by vineyards. At the end he t...read more

A Must-Do Wine Tour

Darlene is the BEST. She explained winemaking in a way that was easy to understand and that honored the art of making wine. I learned so much during this tour and tasted some of the best wines I've ever had. My friends and I had such a good time despite the day being rainy and chilly. This was a fantastic tour!
