Marlborough Vineyards
You can sample excellent wines and at many of the wineries indulge in first class cuisine, this is after all the reason for coming to Marlborough.
You can choose a tour see below, or explore yourself.
The best place to start is Wine Marlborough and follow their map, which you can download. On the back are listed the wineries, with address and contact details. If you plan on eating it is definitely recommended to make a reservation.
My favorites for vineyard dining are :
Wine Tours
Waterways and Wine
This one is good if you only have one day and want to combine a morning boat trip on the sounds and an afternoon wine tour with one operator taking care of everthing.
Cruise the Marlborough Sounds, enjoy brunch at the luxury Bay of Many Coves resort, then visit the best of Marlborough’s world-famous wineries.
Marlborough Gourmet Shopping
One of the worlds great regions for fine wine, food, and goodies like chocolate.
Makana Chocolate, corner Rapaura & O’Dwyers Roads.
The Karaka Kitchen cafe, in centre of Blenheim, for the best selection of really fine local goodies.
