Wineries in Blenheim (New Zealand)
Most of the tastings are free and the service is very friendly. A biking wine tour in Blenheim is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. You can bring home a bottle from each in your rented bike's haversack. As not all vineyards offer tasting plates, we like to pack our own chocolate or cheese and nibble as we go. Be warned that most New Zealand wineries focus on white wines, with many of the wineries providing only one red variety plus a blush variety.
