Beer Tasting on Wine Tour

06/08/2015 By Cameron Clarke

If you don’t consider a summers wine tour complete without a cool beer tasting then we have got the Marlborough Wine tour for you.

It takes a lot of beer to make a litre of wine…One the Marlborough Wine tour we love to squeeze in a brewery at the end of the day. If you don’t like beer then there is plenty of wine and cider options.

Beer tasting part of the Marlborough wine tour

What is the best way to finish off a Marlborough Wine Tour?  Here on The Hop ‘n Grape Wine and Beer tour we believe the best way to finish any day is with a nice cold beer.  Enjoy a tasting of 5 beers or settle back with your favourite beer or cider and relax.  The fire in burning in winter or there is plenty of room in the garden in the summer.  The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed.

If you prefer you water with bubbles, a little hops, malted grains and alcohol then we would love to help.

Here’s What Our Customers Are Saying…

"Hop 'n Grape Tours was absolutely perfectly suited to what we wanted out of our day. We had a "behind the scenes tour" of a phenomenal winery, a fantastic lunch, and an insider's look at the wine business. Plus, we got to sample some premium microbreweries. I would highly recommend Cam and his company to any person or group that is looking for a top notch customer service experience."
- Robb, Colorado, USA

***

"What sets this tour apart from the others is a winery visit where you learn how wine is made and the different soils that characterise the unique wines grown in the region. Cam is a great host and gives you just the right amount of information. The tour is well paced and highly recommended"
- Clare, NZ

***

"I am a very novice wine drinker, often fearful of ordering wine at meals... This tour helped change that for me entirely. The first portion of the tour took us behind the scenes at a vineyard. We were explained the regional wines produced, how the plants are planted and harvested and finally how the grapes are processed for wine production. A very good starting point for myself..."
- Chelle, UK

***

"My wife and I really enjoyed our tour with Cam on Hop 'n Grape tours! It was a very personalised experience for us. Getting to go to any winery that we wish and getting a great behind the scenes look at the Mount Riley winery was amazing. We would highly recommend hopping on board the tour... [for] a really knowledgeable and friendly guide. If you love wine, you'll love this tour!"
- Jayman, Australia
