FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Your morning commences with a transfer to the train station where you will board the awaiting carriages bound for Woodside Station near Greytown, crossing the Hutt Valley and the hidden Maymorn valley.
On arrival in Greytown, disembark and enjoy a tour of the town before transferring to the Martinborough Wine Village. During the journey we take this opportunity to stop at an elevated lookout site to see the district’s valley and hills that contribute to the wine climate and style.
We tempt the palate with a delicious platter lunch including wine tastings at a local winery – all whilst overlooking the vines, before returning to Wellington City by road. On the way, you will enjoy one last taste treat of contemporary chocolate with unexpected flavours– a delicious way to conclude your Martinborough Food & Wine Tour en route to the pier.
