Marlborough
A winery with luxury villas and a restaurant among the vineyards.
Marlborough, at the top of the South Island, is the home of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Blenheim, its main town, is surrounded by vineyards, while the Marlborough Sounds, a maze of drowned valleys, add boat-only lodges and coves. Accommodation includes a small hotel in Blenheim and lodges around the vineyards and the Sounds.
Stay near Blenheim for cellar doors and restaurants, or take a water taxi into the Sounds for a remote lodge with its own jetty.
Harvest in March and April is the most exciting time. The Marlborough Wine and Food Festival is held in February.
