Here's a tour that offers a little bit of everything you're looking for while on vacation-sightseeing, shopping and a chance to stop for photos and purchase chocolate! Your narrated adventure begins when you board a motorcoach in Picton and travel through the township of Blenheim. Nestled in Marlborough's wine region, sun-soaked Blenheim boasts an average of 2,438 hours of sunshine a year. Pretty mountain views frame the town, which is brimming with souvenir shops. Venture further into the Marlborough wine region, pause in the quaint hamlet of Fairhall for photos and learn about the history of the area and the locals who live here. In the heart of the wine trail sits Makana Boutique Chocolate Factory. Here, you can watch high-quality chocolates being handmade before tasting the finished product. After choosing your favorites, purchase them in the gift shop and bring some home for friends and family.
