A chauffeur-driven wine day to Wairarapa and Martinborough from Wellington takes you over the Remutaka Hill in a Mercedes, with a driver who knows the route and waits while you enjoy the cellar doors. You choose the wineries, we handle the driving, and you're dropped home safely at day's end.
How long does a wine tour from Wellington to Martinborough take?
Expect around an hour each way over the Remutaka Hill, with the day's total length depending on how many wineries you visit and how long you spend at each. Most guests book between four and six hours door-to-door, giving time for three or four cellar doors around Martinborough Square and the surrounding estates.
What vehicle is used for a Martinborough wine tour driver service?
You'll travel in a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers, a V-Class for groups up to four, or a Sprinter for parties up to ten. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives, and all come with a chauffeur employed and trained by us since 2002.
Can the chauffeur recommend wineries in Martinborough?
Our drivers know the region and can offer suggestions based on what you're after, but the itinerary is yours to set. Many guests map out a rough plan before the day and adjust as they go, especially if they discover a favourite around the square.
How is pricing structured for a full-day wine tour to Wairarapa?
It's a fixed, GST-inclusive price with no surge and no meter — shown in full before you confirm on chauffeur.co.nz/book. The number depends on your pickup point in Wellington, the vehicle you need, and the hours you book.
Is the driver a contractor or employed by the chauffeur company?
Every driver is employed directly by the chauffeur, trained by us and accountable to us — not an app contractor who can decline the job. That means consistent service and someone who knows the Remutaka route in all weather.
Fixed prices, NZD, GST-inclusive. No surge, ever. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives, driven by a chauffeur we employ — trained by us and accountable to us, not an app contractor who can decline the job. The chauffeur — since 2002.
