A popular stop on our wine tours, Makana is a little slice of chocolate heaven!

Winter in Marlborough 💙

Not all wines carry the name of their vineyard on the bottle. Our Single Vineyard wines do, because the site where a wine grows shapes everything about how it tastes 🍇

The Benmorven vineyard sits at the very base of the Wither Hills, sheltered from the easterly by a grassy knoll; the site has its own unique microclimate. Planted in 2000, it’s spent 25 years developing its character and today produces Chardonnay that only comes from this one corner of Marlborough.

Winter weekends in Marlborough are made for slowing down.

A leisurely wine tasting.
A long lunch.
A stroll through Picton.
A scenic drive.

Sometimes the simplest days are the most memorable.

📍 Do you have a favourite spot in Marlborough?

It might be a quiet bay in the Sounds. A cellar door with a roaring fire. A lookout that never gets old.

One of the best parts of our job is sharing places that visitors might never find on their own.

Where's your favourite hidden gem? We'd love to hear it below.
