About
Jade Tours in Springlands, Blenheim, stands out in Marlborough's crowded wine scene with a genuine focus on small-batch, quality winemaking and personable hospitality. The cellar door here feels refreshingly unpretentious—owners know their craft and enjoy sharing it without the hard sell. They're known for consistent, well-made Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs that reflect the region's terroir, plus a growing reputation for natural and experimental wines that appeal to curious drinkers beyond the mainstream Marlborough typecasts.
Visiting Jade Tours feels like dropping in on knowledgeable friends rather than a corporate tasting room. Expect to spend 1–2 hours here, with staff happy to chat about winemaking philosophy and local geography. The intimate setting suits couples, small groups, and serious wine enthusiasts equally well; solo visitors often end up in good conversations at the counter. The location on Bary Street is easy to find, and parking is straightforward. Come thirsty but at a relaxed pace—this isn't a tick-box tasting factory.
Fit Jade Tours into a broader Marlborough wine tour by pairing it with a few other smaller producers in the Springlands cluster, or use it as a slower alternative to the busier estates further north. Late spring (September–October) and early autumn (March–April) offer the best weather and fewer crowds. The cellar door is open most days, but calling ahead ensures the team can dedicate time to your visit, especially if you're interested in behind-the-scenes chat or touring the small production area.
