Marlborough Wine & Food Festival

Had a great day. Awesome wines. Tasty food. Good displays. Surprising a large range of age group. Fantastic music.

The buses were very efficient this year. It was super easy . The Portaloos were really clean and I didn't need to queue at all. The food was noticeably more expensive but it has been a couple years so things have gone up. Big ups to brancott for the $ 5 full glasses of wine! . Cashless was good . Fees are a pain though! The new venue seemed to work well. Lots of tables and umbrellas for people if they got there early enough. We done to the organisers.

Great day out with transport from blenheim central to the fest and back. Lots of food and wine but no beer.

Really good event if you like wine.

Could be fabulous but..$60+ entry fee plus $25 for the bus only gets you there and back. We'd expected at least one free drink but All the wineries charge. On the positive side there are loads of different wineries there so you can try all sorts but at $3 (cheapest) per tester or $5+ per large glass, it soon mounts up. The cookery demos were free and amusing, the bands ditto though the quality varied. The real problem is there's very little seating or shade. Those in the know took chairs and positioned themselves in the shaded areas early on but for newbies like us and on a very hot day it wasn't very comfortable. Very well attended so a good buzz. Tips:take a seat, hat and plenty of cash!

What a great day. Weather was perfect in 2023. Nice to be able to taste wines we have never had before all in one place in one afternoon. Was in a big field and worked well. We would go back

Great experience. Why pay for a wine or vineyard tour when you can have 141 vineyards come to you in one place!

Nice event and very well organised with the help of Lions and Rotarians

Such a great place to enjoy wine and meet people. I'll be back next year.

What a great day. Of course it's not that cheap but with 60nzd for the ticket and between 5 and 10nzd for a 120ml Glas of wine it's definitely worth to visit. Great live music, fantastic people and the luckily, we had perfect weather.
