Beer Tasting on Wine Tour

By

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.
