Be at one with nature when you discover the Marlborough region, renowned for its breathtaking gardens and quaint sheep farms. This engaging all-day tour begins as you journey into the heart of wine country to Upton Oaks, an English-inspired garden of Dave and Sue Monahan, developed around a restored 1911 South Pacific villa. The manicured grounds feature brick walls, ponds, perennial borders and a 17th century-style Elizabethan "knot garden," divided into sections by color. Relax by the walled swimming pool courtyard with a light snack before continuing on to Winterhome, a working sheep and beef farm. Meander through the unique large-scale formal garden and take in the many different vistas, including mountains and a rugged coastline. Witness a sheep dog demonstration and look on as an expert shearer delicately removes the sheep's wool. Enjoy lunch at The Store, an iconic and highly regarded cafe with breathtaking views and delicious food.
