At Altitude Tours, we specialise in crafting exceptional experiences that showcase the best of New Zealand’s diverse landscapes and wine regions. From the stunning vistas of Gibbston Valley and Central Otago to our rich and immersive tasting experiences, we offer award-winning wine tours.

Earlier this year, our Key Account Manager, Alia McWhiter, had the pleasure of exploring another standout tour provider, Hop ‘n Grape in Marlborough. For those seeking a similar high-quality wine experience in the Marlborough wine region, Hop ‘n Grape is an excellent choice.

Discovering Marlborough’s Wine Country

While Altitude Tours highlights the best of Central Otago and Gibbston’s wine and natural landscapes, Marlborough stands out as one of the South Island’s premier wine regions, renowned for its exceptional Sauvignon Blanc and vibrant wine culture. Hop ‘n Grape Marlborough offers premium wine and craft beer tours that provide a deep dive into this celebrated region

Discovering Marlborough’s Wine Country

Both Altitude Tours and Hop ‘n Grape Marlborough are committed to providing seamless, stress-free experiences that ensure everything runs smoothly from initial booking to drop-off.

  • Altitude Tours: Offers guided tours through the breathtaking landscapes of Gibbston Valley and Central Otago, renowned for its Pinot Noir. Our tours blend expert insights into New Zealand’s wine with exclusive award-winning experiences and stunning natural landscapes.
  • Hop ‘n Grape Marlborough: Delivers unique and exclusive wine experiences. On their full-day Winemaker’s Tour, you gain behind-the-scenes access to wineries, taste straight from the barrel, and engage personally with winemakers.

A standout moment for Alia was experiencing a wine guide from Hop n Grape who was also a winemaker. Their unparalleled knowledge and ability to answer any questions guests had greatly enriched her tour. This deep insight into winemaking processes and personal interactions solidified Alia’s own wine knowledge and enhanced the overall wine experience.
