Hop On Hop Off Wine Tours is a wine and beer tour operator based at 3 Auckland Street in Picton, Marlborough. Its tours use a bus that collects guests from their accommodation or venue and takes them between tasting stops, so guests can go at their own pace. The company also offers a luxury Mercedes van for couples and small groups, and private tours of up to six hours with food and wine. Groups can book a whole bus and driver for hen parties, work functions and birthdays.
The routes cover up to 25 stops, including about 13 wineries, a brewery, an English-style pub, the Omaka Aviation Centre, Omaka Classic Cars and a chocolatier. A Marlborough tour option visits seven venues in a day, and the Seaview Vineyard tour includes a cliff-top lookout over the Marlborough Sounds. Cruise ship passengers can book a cruise-day ticket, and other travellers are asked to phone the company to book. Bookings can be made by phone on +64 3 573 5508, or 0800 693 722 within New Zealand.
