Gidday, I'm a down-to-earth 5th generation Kiwi lad. I was raised on a dairy farm in Taranaki, where I learned to steer a tractor at four, milk a cow and can cook a fantastic bowl of porridge. With over 20 years in the wine industry, I studied winemaking and viticulture in Marlborough and then had the privilege of working in wineries across Australia, America and Europe. I love surfing, snowboarding, fishing, and family holidays with my lovely wife Kylie and our two free-spirited children. I love entertaining guests on the tour and have been running tours for 10 years. With a background in winemaking and a love of New Zealand, I will take you to the best and most interesting places in Marlborough. I offer 3 different tours of Marlborough. One doesn't have lunch included in the cost, so it is a different price from the other tours. I suggest booking in advance as I get very busy throughout New Zealand's summer and peak season. I look forward to meeting you and showing you why I love Marlborough and New Zealand.

Overview of your Picton tour

After a scenic drive through some of New Zealand’s most breathtaking landscapes, your day begins with a curated visit to Sir Peter Jackson's Omaka Heritage Exhibition, where extraordinary WWI and aviation displays bring history to life. Next, enjoy a boutique wine tasting at a carefully selected cellar door, where you’ll sample 5 world-class wines and discover Marlborough’s signature varietals. Then indulge in a vineyard lunch at a second estate, featuring seasonal dishes perfectly paired with estate-grown wines—lunch always tastes better with a backdrop of rolling vines and big skies. After lunch, either treat yourself to a stop at the Makana Chocolate Factory, where handcrafted delights await or visit a local Art Gallery. Throughout the tour, relax in luxury transport and soak in the region’s natural beauty, enhanced by Cameron’s engaging commentary, insider knowledge, and warm hospitality.
