What happens when you hand a Sydney Morning Herald travel journalist the keys to Marlborough for a couple of days?

A private wildlife sanctuary walk, vineyard bike trails, underground wine cellars, local art, exceptional food and wine, and plenty of stories from the people who make this region special.

Earlier this year, Explore Marlborough hosted travel journalist Jane Richards and her partner in collaboration with The Marlborough. Their touring was led by our guides Innes and Richard Ellis — winemaker and owner of The Marlborist — who shared some of the experiences, hidden gems and local stories that make Marlborough so much more than a wine region.

The result? A fantastic feature showcasing our corner of the world to readers across Australia.

Cycling the wine country. A very good idea.
Some of New Zealand's finest producers are our neighbours, and there's no better way to meet them than by bike or car — unhurried, with a guide or at your own pace. Autumn guests can book our full-day guided e-bike wine tour at a discounted rate when booking the Autumn package. The sort of day that turns a short break into a reset with the fresh air and a little soft adventure 🚴

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mamas, Grandmothers, and mother figures out there! 🤍

We have 3 generations of mums woven through our family business — Kat, her mum Cherie, and now me (Tayla) raising the youngest generation.

The 1st of May marks International Sauvignon Blanc Day! Which is a very important celebration here in Marlborough, NZ 🥂

Would we cap the celebration to just one day? OFCOURSE not! Throughout the whole of May, cellar doors across Marlborough are offering unique Sauvignon Blanc tasting experiences for a special price of just $10

And it goes without saying, that the best most scenic way to get between these cellar doors, IS OFCOURSE, by bike 🚲🤩 starting from our base in the heart of wine region or at our CBD base next to

So this month is your chance to explore a range of sauv styles, meet the people behind the wines, and enjoy the place where it all begins!
