Blenheim (wine tasting)
... 9am. The night before, we had fully organized our route. The plan was to set off at 9am with the intention of cycling to the furthest vineyard (arriving there at 10am when they opened) and work our way back, achieving one winery approximately every half an hour.

Wine Tasting In Marlborough.
... at a nearby restaurant so whilst we waited for them he took us to our first cellar door, Number 1, who solely specialisde in Champagne, what a good way to start.
