The Marlborough region impresses with world-famous wineries, enviable climate and the watery haven of the Marlborough Sounds. Blenheim makes an ideal base for wine and food lovers, with over 30 wineries within easy reach by car or bike, plus local craft breweries like Renaissance and Moa.
The most idyllic parts of the Marlborough Sounds are only accessible by boat, best explored on a scenic cruise to spot local wildlife. Picton is the gateway to Queen Charlotte Sound, with its picturesque bays, secluded beaches and cloistered islands, while keen walkers can tackle the 40-mile Queen Charlotte Track for stunning coastal views.
