Festivals & Things to do in Marlborough

The Marlborough region located near the very top of New Zealand’s South Island and has long been known for breathtaking scenery, the glorious Marlborough Sounds and, of course, the world class Sauvignon Blanc produced locally that makes a very good reason indeed to attend one of the Marlborough Festivals.

With its rugged mountain ranges, fertile plains and a dash of water, wilderness and wine, it’s no wonder most of the Marlborough Festivals will have a wine and food theme. Each year the communities of Marlborough host a variety of food and wine festivals celebrating the regions fine produce – Here is a couple of must Marlborough Festivals.
