Overview

  • Discover why Discovery Wine Tours is a favourite for cruise ship guests visiting Picton, Port Marlborough.
    Since 2005, our locally owned family business has specialised in relaxed small-group shore excursions designed around your ship’s schedule, allowing you to enjoy Marlborough with complete peace of mind.
    Unlike large coach tours, our personalised experiences focus on quality over quantity. Visit boutique wineries and iconic Cellar Doors, enjoy premium tastings, meet passionate local hosts, and discover the stories behind Marlborough’s world-famous wines.
    Tour timings are adjusted to Port Marlboroughs shipping schedule updates, ensuring you return to your ship comfortably and on time. Complimentary shuttle buses operate between the cruise terminal and the Picton Information Centre meeting point, where your guide will welcome you beside the Yellow Flag.
    Enjoy stunning scenery, local knowledge, and genuine Kiwi hospitality on an authentic Marlborough shore excursion.
