This delightful, 2.5-hour driving tour offers a relaxed way to enjoy the picturesque sights of the Marlborough region. Your narrated adventure begins when you board a motorcoach in Picton and travel through the township of Blenheim. Sunny Blenheim is nestled in the wine region of Marlborough and boasts an average of 2,438 hours of sunshine a year. Pretty mountain views frame the town, which is brimming with colorful souvenir shops. Continue out into the Marlborough wine region, pause in Fairhall for a photo opportunity, and learn about the history of the area and the locals who live here. Stop at the Makana boutique chocolate factory and watch as high-quality chocolates are handmade, before tasting the finished product. When you've chosen your favorites, purchase them in the gift shop and bring some home for friends and family. Return to Picton after this lovely day.
