Picton - 17 February 2014

Today we visited Picton at the Shakespeare Bay, part of the Queen Charlotte Sound in New Zealand. Lots of wineries there, wines from the famous Marlborough area, named after the lord

We took a tour through the beautiful wine-making region of Marlborough and visited first the Cloudy Bay winery (www.cloudybay.co.nz) with tasting of Savignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris as well as Pinot Noir. Quite nice but not given, especially if you have to ship the bottles to  Europe.

After that we visited Makana Confections where they produce hand-made chocolates (www.makana.co.nz). Bought naturally too much lovely but expensive chocolates.

Then the bus drove through German founded Blenheim and Picton.
