Bewitching Blenheim
Take a spell in the sunniest regional capital in New Zealand (and the beating heart of the Marlborough wine region), flourishing Blenheim. From its fertile bush land to its rugged coastline and, of course, the most divine gourmet food and wine on offer, Blenheim will have your senses bursting at the seams. ... Read more »
Smell the flowers and relax in the sunshine in Seymour Square, walk though the sickly sweet aroma of the luscious Hedgerows Strawberry Farm, or join the pilgrimage with the wine-lovers of the world with a Wines of Marlborough Tour. And this being New Zealand, you can’t spend time in Blenheim without doing something that’s a little on the wild side. Water-skiing and kayaking fit the bill, but you can do that pretty much anywhere. So how about whale-watching at Kaikoura or swimming with dolphins in the Marlborough Sounds for something truly unique and unforgettable?
BLENHEIM’S TOP 10

| 9. Wither Hills Take in the stunning views of the Wairau Valley with a trek along the peaks of these lovely hills. | 4. Villa Maria Estate At the top of the big league, this winemaker has awards coming out of its ears. Try the black-label pinot noir and your taste buds will sing. |
