Marlborough Winery Day

We visited 4 local wineries today. The Marlborough Region is world famous for it’s Sauvignon Blanc & Pinot Wines. At the first stop, we sampled 6 wines from Hunter’s family winery. We taxied to St Clair winery where we sampled 4 more, & enjoyed a delicious sampling of local foods for lunch. We were a bit leary to try the mussels, but we both enjoyed them. The local olives, & tomatoes were especially good. We walked from St Clair to the Makura Chocolate Factory for some samples. We bought some Macadamia Chocolate Crunch there. From there, we taxied to Cloudy Bay, where we sampled 4 more wines. We stumbled across the road to the Allan Scott winery where we tried 3 more wines. We enjoyed some wines more than others. Our favourites at each Winery were usually their Chardonnays, but we quite enjoyed the award winning Sauvignon Blanc at Cloudy Bay & Allan Scott. We liked the Pinot Gris at Hunters and the Pinot Rose at St Cloud too. All in all, it was an excellent day.Read more
