About the Region

Marlborough often receives New Zealand’s most sunshine hours in the summer months and is New Zealand’s largest grape growing & winemaking area with over 50 wineries.
Marlborough is famed for its Sauvignon Blanc wine, but also produces excellent Chardonnay and Riesling.

The Marlborough Sounds is a labyrinth fjord type waterways comprising two main sounds, Queen Charlotte Sound (Picton), and the larger Pelorus Sound (Havelock). The sounds boast spectacular and unspoilt scenery, largely untouched by modernisation. High native bush and fern clad hills cascade straight into the deep and clear blue waters of the sounds. Native fauna and flora abound in the many bays and beaches.

Havelock is an historic gold mining town, but is more famous now as the green lipped mussel capital of the world.
