TOUR SUMMARY

Omaka Heritage Air Centre is a popular icon stop
with Peter Jackson's collection of classic airplanes and
his amazing heritage WW1 and WW2 displays.  

It is
recommended that two hours is
set aside for you to wander among the life-like displays of our
past heritage activities and the most generous collection of
personal memorabilia.  The Heritage Delights Tour can be

our local artisans and enjoy the scenic aspect of our
beautiful Wairau Valley and plains.  
A stop for lunch at one of our picturesque wineries is part of your day
and a must stop at our Makana Chocolate Boutique confections.

cafe/restaurant gardens  to relax and enjoy the views of the
Wairau Valley landscapes.

The afternoon can include more wine tasting for those who
have come to Marlborough especially for our sensational wines
or an award winning garden or talented local artist's studio.
Perhaps meet the craftsmen who make the local hand-made paua and greenstone jewellery. 

Spectacular high vantage points can be arranged for your photos
for your very special Marlborough memories.

If only part of the group choose to visit Omaka, we can continue on
with some great wine tasting and sightseeing, returning to pick up
the Omaka guests.

Makana Chocolate Boutique Confections is another treat not to be missed.

Your Local Chauffeur looks forward to sharing a little
heritage and wine with you.
