Marlborough

Marlborough is home to a number of top wineries and offers many bays, inlets and hilly areas to explore.

Situated at the top of the South Island, one of Marlborough’s main towns, Picton, is the port at which clients can get on the ferry over to the North Island. It's also the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds, best explored by water (although enthusiastic hikers can walk parts of it too). Marlborough is well-known as one of the top wine regions of New Zealand, and is home to our world-renowned sauvignon blanc.
