After picking you up from Wellington we work our way up the Hutt Valley to our first stop at the Remutaka mountain range summit, 555 metres above sea level where we view the Remutaka Crossing monument commemorating 60,000 New Zealand troops who made the crossing from the military camp in Featherston to the Port of Wellington between 1915 and 1918. From the summit it’s about a 60 minute drive up to our first winery of the day in Masterton where we visit Le Gra Vineyard for tastings and a beautifully prepared platter lunch featuring local produce. After lunch we head south to the Gladstone area where will visit either Johner Estate Winery or Gladstone Vineyard. After our visit to the Gladstone region it’s just a short drive south east to the Pinot Noir Capital of the North Island – Martinborough where we will have tastings at a further 2 wineries. My selected wineries are a choice of Tiwaiwaka Wines, Grava, Alexander Vineyard, Haythornthwaite Wines, Muirlea Rise, Poppies Martinborough, Moy Hall, Escarpment or Tirohana Estate.
At one of the wineries we also get an opportunity to have an in-depth chat with the Wine maker/Owner during a private tour of the winery.
We depart for Wellington around 3pm getting back to your selected drop off location around 4:30pm.
