Cloudy Bay Marlborough Wine Pioneers

The winery is named after Cloudy Bay, a body of water explorer Captain James Cook came across during his voyage to New Zealand in 1770. Cloudy Bay work together with nature to transform and enhance its quality and obtain the pure, aromatic flavours of the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. They also offer other varieties of amazing wines. As you enter the estate, you will see a beautiful building covered with virginia creeper giving the winery an established european feel.

Group Wine Tasting inside Cloudy Bay Tasting room

The cellar door is spacious and inviting which is located at the winery itself, in the heart of the Marlborough wine region. Cloudy Bay is a beautiful place to enjoy a delicious glass of wine in a vast courtyard. The raw bar offers different treats that can excite your taste buds while enjoying their range of wines and the beautiful garden overlooking the vineyards. The green lawn is extensive, with huge shade trees interspersed. It is a great location for a family get-together, with ample room for the kids to run around. The view of the vineyards, with the mountains in the background, is absolutely breathtaking. It is the perfect place to chill, relax and create memorable moments with family and friends with their naturally beautiful surroundings. If you want a sophisticated and memorable experience, Cloudy Bay is definitely a place to visit.

Is Cloudy Bay worth the money?

This is a funny question but one I get asked alot. It has many facets so to keep it simple I will just say Yes. A wine is more than the contents of the bottle. It’s the memories and the emotion attached to that time. Cloudy bay has created a lot of memories for a lot of people. When they visit the tasting room people tell stories of drinking Cloudy bay with family or enjoying Cloudy bay at special restaurants. You can tell the brand is special to them.

Yes, I might be able to show them Sauvignon blanc that they enjoy, that are from little hand made vineyards. As they haven’t heard of them, and there is no history associated with these new vineyards. It creates a different experience. A new one! On a Marlborough Wine tour there is room for the new and the old. Finding new favourites to compare with the old favourites and making new memories.

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!"
