Vineyard tours allow guests unique access to the winery and vineyard.

Cameron, before starting the Hop ‘N Grape Wine and Beer Tours business, had the privilege to work at Mount Riley Winery for about five years. When he left the winery he negotiated to take key with him so he could take visitors in and let them have an amazing behind the scene experience of the wine making process.

Marlborough’s cool climate and long growing season transform Mt. Riley’s wines to have vibrant and pure fruit flavours. The unique sites allow them to craft wines that best represent Marlborough region in each vintage.

History of Marlborough and Mount Riley

The first Sauvignon Blanc produced by Mount Riley was in 1996. Their wines have reached different parts of the world, from Scott Base in the Antarctic to 40,000ft in British Airways business class.

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!"
