Itinerary

1. Cloudy Bay
On the Gourmet Gold tour, Cloudy Bay is a true highlight, one of Marlborough's most iconic wineries and a key reason the region is world famous for wine. Founded in 1985, Cloudy Bay helped put Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc on the global stage, and the cellar door still carries that quiet, established charm today. Guided by the quality Cloudy Bay staff you'll taste through a range including Sparkling Wine, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, with the option to explore the barrel-fermented Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc for something a little different. Set in a spacious courtyard with sweeping vineyard and mountain views, Cloudy Bay also offers a raw bar of light bites, perfect for lingering over on this premium, in-depth day of wine.
Duration: 60 mins
2. Allan Scott Family Winemakers
On the Gourmet Gold tour, Allan Scott Family Winemakers is a highlight stop where wine and food come together. Beyond tasting through their award-winning range of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and aromatics, guests have the opportunity to enjoy a seasonal, locally sourced meal at the onsite restaurant, set among the vines with sweeping views across the estate. It's a chance to slow down and truly savour Marlborough, pairing considered food with exceptional wine in one of the region's most celebrated vineyard settings, guided throughout by your winemaker host.
Duration: 60 mins
3. Clos Henri Vineyard
On the Gourmet Gold tour, Clos Henri offers a distinctive stop where French winemaking tradition meets Marlborough terroir. Founded by the Bourgeois family of France's Loire Valley, Clos Henri brings generations of European winemaking philosophy to New Zealand soil, cultivating Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in distinctive clay-limestone vineyards rarely seen elsewhere in the region. The result is wines of real finesse and balance, with a clear sense of place that sets them apart from more typical Marlborough styles. Guided by your winemaker host, you'll taste through this thoughtfully crafted range and hear the story of how old world tradition shaped a genuinely different approach to New Zealand wine, set among vines and the estate's own distinctive stone church.
Duration: 60 mins
4. Saint Clair Family Estate Vineyard Kitchen

Guests can enjoy a seasonal lunch designed to pair perfectly with Saint Clair's award-winning wines, all set in the restaurant's picturesque outdoor courtyard among the vines. It's a leisurely, indulgent stop that captures the true spirit of Marlborough's vineyard to table dining scene.

It's the perfect finishing touch for guests looking to treat themselves in every way.

6. Marlborough Region
On the Gourmet Gold tour, Marlborough is explored the way it deserves to be, through the eyes of the people who actually make the wine. New Zealand's largest wine region, spread across the sunny Wairau Valley, Marlborough is home to over 150 wineries and a world-famous reputation for Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and aromatic and sparkling wines alike. Guided by a genuine winemaker host, you'll get insight into the region most visitors never access, the stories, decisions, and craftsmanship behind the wines rather than just the tasting notes. Paired with a premium lunch among the vines, it's a considered, immersive way to experience one of the world's great wine regions.

It's the perfect combination for visitors wanting to pair Picton's coastal charm with an elevated, in-depth wine and food experience just a short drive away.
