We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service.

The tour departs Wellington when you board the “Vineyard Express” train. Start with stunning harbour views, bush-clad valleys and ranges, and views of a fertile rural plain. Check out a huge inland lake and New Zealand's longest passenger rail tunnel. Travel through the Rimutuka Ranges to Featherston where you'll join a coach with the passengers who choose to board at Wairarapa. This guided and informative wine tour of the Martinborough region will take you to four of the area's wineries. You'll be allowed plenty of time to taste and be informed of the characteristics of the various wines available.

An included lunch will be enjoyed at one of the many local cafés. The tour winds down with the choice of a further glass of Martinborough wine or a delicious cheese platter and coffee.
