Marlborough Wine Festival

After more than 25 years of celebrating the unique flavours of New Zealand’s premium wine producing region, The Marlborough Wine Festival is preparing for another spectacular event. Set amongst the vines of the region’s oldest vineyard, Montana’s Brancott Estate, the festival is expected to attract thousands of people from around the world.

With over a 100 wineries based in Marlborough, the opportunity for visitors to try the very best of the region's wines matched with a stunning array of regional food, is one of the major attractions. This combined with wine tutorials and the annual Fashion in the Vines show has led to a sell out event in the past four years. Only 8,000 wine lovers will get the chance to attend the Marlborough Wine Festival so purchasing a ticket early is the best advice.

New Zealand’s largest and longest running wine festival will feature one of the biggest new performers on the block, Liam Finn, on February 13 next year.

The festival offers something for everyone including wine tutorials with the regions' leading winemakers and viticulturists, Thomas's Fashion in the Vines competition, Food and wine matching and fantastic entertainment from some of New Zealand's leading performers.


Tickets will go on sale for the February 13 2010 event on Thursday October 1 st and can be purchased from TicketDirect at www.ticketdirect.co.nz or phone 0800 224 224.
