Marlborough
New Zealands wine country
From the sheltered bays of the Marlborough Sounds to the region’s renowned food and wine experiences, there is an adventure here for every traveller.
Dreamy sunsets, calm waters and star-filled nights create an inspiring backdrop for unforgettable holiday moments with family and friends.
Explore the four valleys that shape Marlborough, meet the passionate people who call them home and discover their deep connection to the land.
In Te Hoiere/Pelorus, bathe in the shimmering Emerald Pools, join a Hobbit Barrel Rafting tour along the Pelorus River, or venture out on the Nydia Track by foot or mountain bike.
Afterwards, enjoy fresh local seafood in the charming township of Havelock, the Greenshell Mussel Capital of the World.
Travel to Waitohi/Picton, the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds (and where the ferry from Wellington comes in), where the natural beauty and rich history of Tōtaranui/Queen Charlotte Sound can be explored by boat, kayak, sail, mountain bike or on foot.
In the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, the two largest winegrowing regions in New Zealand, savour world-class wines and seasonal, locally sourced cuisine at cellar doors and winery restaurants set among vineyards and rolling hills.
Blenheim / Waiharakeke
The “Sunshine Capital” of New Zealand is situated on the Wairau Plain near the top of the South Island. Blenheim’s combination of high sunshine hours, a long ripening period, and free-draining river flats have put the district’s vineyards at the forefront of the International Wine Industry. The second Saturday of February is Blenheim’s Wine and Food Festival which draws many to celebrate food, music and dance.
Marlborough Sounds
Marlborough Sounds, located at the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, is a stunningly beautiful region characterized by its intricate network of drowned river valleys, lush greenery, and pristine waterways. Comprising multiple bays, inlets, and islands, the Sounds offer breathtaking views and abundant outdoor activities, including kayaking, hiking, and sailing. The area is renowned for its diverse marine life and vibrant ecosystems, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Additionally, Marlborough Sounds serves as a gateway to the famous Marlborough wine region, celebrated for its Sauvignon Blanc, offering visitors a delightful blend of natural beauty and exceptional wine experiences.
