The latest series of Travel Guides has given the travel show a distinctly Kiwi twist, seeing ordinary New Zealanders take the country's top attractions for a road test.
In the latest episode the Guides were sent to drink in the scenic surroundings of the Marlborough region. As a world-famous appellation for Sauvignon Blanc, the New Zealand reviewers were treated to some top tipples and experienced both the seafood and the crystal-clear waterways from where it comes. They were even thrown the challenge of DIY pottery.

If you were inspired by the Travel Guides, we've put together a list of where they went, what they ate and how they got there – so you can too.
WHERE THEY STAYED
