Established to promote the magnificent products that the region can offer, the Marlborough Wine and Food festival is considered to be one of the most original and successful wine and food festivals all over the world bringing both local and international customers together to taste the quality of their bounty. So if you're planning to attend the festival, then I recommend that you make your reservation early for Blenheim accommodation since reservations are limited.

All types of accommodation are available in Marlborough festival. There are accommodations intended to cater those travellers in a low budget like budget end backpackers and cabins while there are also luxurious accommodations for those who are looking for the greatest festival experience.

The celebration of the Marlborough Wine and Food Festival is yearly held at the grapes vines of Blenheim-one of the largest estates of the country. Several famous performers are present during the festival to give entertainment to guests. Visiting different tourist sites is not a problem since there are a lot of buses that run to and from Blenheim around the place.

The festival features over 45 Marlborough wineries and over 500 wines. Many culinary specialties are also present to delight the guests. And some of New Zealand's leading winemakers and chefs provide workshops during the day.

A recent addition to the festival is the Fashion in the Vines competition. This particular competition is all about seeking for the best dressed female and male contestants. Contestants are judged on: style and originality of the outfit, appropriateness of attire for the Marlborough Wine Festival, appropriateness of accessories, suitability of outfit to climate, grooming and deportment.

The most precious festival is experienced by the world every 2nd Saturday of the February. The region's distinction in producing the best wines was brought about by the grape vines which have received a series of both national and international awards. The sauvignon blanc wines, one of the best around the world, is Marlborough's most notable wine.

The largest wine growing region is none other than Marlborough which has more than 9000 hectares of vineyards. Grape varieties produced include Gewrztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Chardonnay Since producing wine has become a source of income for some people, it's plantation has extended across the southern part of the Awatare Valley, Rapaura's river beds, Lower Wairu and West Waihopa.

These grapevines became Marlborough's instrument in becoming globally recognized and receive numerous national and international awards for its delicious and top-quality wines. The most notable of the wines of Marlborough is clearly its Sauvignon Blanc wines which are amongst the best in the world.

How about you stay at winery accommodation in Blenheim. While around the area, make sure you savor the chance of enjoying all its many attractions. Seafarers and kayakers will find peace in the Marlborough Sounds. Blenheim, a well-known place for its fishing and water sports, also offers you a trip on the mail boat.
