The beauty about Your Local Chauffeur Delight Tours as a group is that it is easy to create custom requests within the group. The Marlborough vineyards, cellar doors at the wineries are all in close proximity to each other, offering a variety of different view points and each uniquely landscaped in their own personal rendition. For those that enjoy wine so much and wish to fit in as many wineries as possible during the day - that is easy. For those who would like to incorporate the Omaka Aviation Air Centre where you would allow at least 1.5 - 2 hours to view both displays of WW1 and WW2 that is just as easy and also you will find a great cafe and memorabilia store front there, along with the Classic Car display next door.Everyone can get together again at the lunch venue and enjoy that restful glass of Marlborough wine and our mouth-watering tapas and locally grown produce that presents our cuisine flavours to the very best!
