Beer Tasting
Do you prefer your water with barley and hops? Good on ya mate!
Marlborough is the home of just a handful of breweries, but they just happen to be ultra-premium, hand-crafted, and award-winning beers and ciders! These include Moa, Renaissance, Golden Mile, and Boom Town.
We can visit a local boutique brewery, a local pub with an immense amount of history, or the largest collection of barrel aged beers in the southern Hemisphere, where there are over 20 tap beers to choose from!
Micro-Breweries and Craft Beer Tasting
Blenheim and Picton in Marlborough is much more than a Sauvignon Blanc wine town. They have a thriving craft beer scene, boasting four unique breweries within the region. Beer can be a great change from a day tasting wine, so we visit a brewery or two on our Marlborough tours.
