Step into a world where fantasy meets flavour. The Fellowship of the Vine is a breathtaking 11-hour odyssey that unites the cinematic wonder of Middle‑earth with the rich tastes of Martinborough’s finest vineyards — all from your starting point in Wellington.
Your journey begins at the legendary Wētā Workshop, home of Sir Richard Taylor’s award‑winning special effects for The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, The Rings of Power, and many more. Go behind the scenes and uncover the craft that brought Tolkien’s world to life.
Then, follow the path through Middle‑earth, past the shimmering River Anduin, and into Martinborough’s renowned wine country. Here, you’ll savour tastings from three boutique wineries, paired beautifully with artisanal cheeses and a gourmet lunch among the vines.
To complete your adventure, journey on to cinematic landmarks such as Rivendell — the home of Elrond, and the epic landscapes of Isengard and Helm’s Deep.

5.00In June 2025 we traveled as a couple (over 60) and we did this experience with a proposal of Vera Club and, leaving aside the evaluations of the individual places that we express below, we can say that it was an experience that left us a scent and images that will accompany us for a long time, absolutely recommended, also thanks to our guide Cristian and his second Abdel and the driver Takdeini. We summarize some places visited giving an evaluation that is definitely conditioned by tastes and time we encountered: • One night Baobab Lodge, to rest from the long plane journey, before leaving for the tour (absolutely non-existent services, we could not take a shower): or Beach and sea Vote 8 or Structure Vote 8,5 or Room and services Vote 3 or Kitchen Vote 4 • Four nights in Diego Suarez structure Allamanda Hotel, a dignified 3-star Italian: or Beach and sea Vote 6 (but we didn't need it we were always around) or Structure Vote 7 or Room and services Vote 7 or Kitchen Vote 7,5 • Two nights at Antoremba Lodge, where tranquility reigns supreme (fantastic): or Beach and sea Vote 8,5 or Structure Vote 9 or Room and services Vote 9 or Kitchen Vote 8,5 • Seven nights at Vera Club Palm Beach, with all inclusive formula: or Beach and sea Vote 5 Always full of seaweed or Structure Vote 8,5 or Room and services Vote 9 or Kitchen Vote 7,5 or Local animation Vote 8 or Italian animation Vote 4,5 • Places visited in the tour or Ankara Special Reserve Rating 6.5 or Tsingy Rouge Rating 8.5 or 3 Bays by Diego Suarez Vote 7 The reason for the low grade is that it rained on the day or Mountains of Ambre Vote 8 or Visit to rice fields / markets Vote 8 or Lemurs Vote 10 (they're so sweet) • Excursions made or Nosy Komba Vote 8 or Nosy Tanikely Rating 7.5 or Nosy Iranja Vote 9 The roads in the north are bad but, despite this, the tour was VERY enjoyable, and the off-roaders in the red dirt or sand embellished the experience.
