ENQUIRE NOWDeparting from Christchurch station, this delightful Blenheim rail break takes you along remote beaches, between mountains and sea, on a scenic experience to the Marlborough wine region.
If you are looking for a relaxing escape to wine country via coastal train experience, then look no further. Travel from rugged coastline through mountains and valleys to emerge into Marlborough’s lush grape-filled vineyards.
Two days of beautifully scenic rail journeys, an overnight at a wonderful local hotel, and incredibly enjoyable wine and heritage experiences will bring your Blenheim rail break to life.
One of the biggest highlights of your Wine Tasting adventure will be the train journey. Climbing aboard the Coastal Pacific in Christchurch, your coastal discovery break will start in relaxing style as you ease back in your reclined seat and enjoy the views through your panoramic window.
Explore the stunning Kaikōura Coastline, famous for its marine life and whale watching. We’ll then voyage through to the vineyards of Blenheim, dripping with New Zealand’s premium crop. The Coastal Pacific takes you on an adventure along rugged coastlines, across remote beaches, between mountains and sea, on a timeless journey of breathtaking beauty.
You will be booked in Scenic Class where you will enjoy spacious reclined seats with generous amounts of legroom and comfort, panoramic windows, glass shelves and skylights. And to heighten your comfort, state-of-the-art airbag suspension has been used to guarantee a smooth ride across our rugged New Zealand terrain.
While onboard, you might like a stroll to the Coastal Pacific Scenic Cafe carriage where you’ll find a great selection of hot and cold snacks, drinks and ice creams. Indulge in a freshly brewed specialty tea or barista coffee married with a sumptuous cake? Or perhaps toast your special journey with a bottle of bubbles or craft beer?
The open-air viewing carriage is also great place to get some fresh air and enjoy the great outdoors while on the move on your Blenheim rail break. Capture the magical views on camera and let your short break begin!
