The Marlborough region is well known as a wine region — especially for Sauvignon Blanc. Around Renwick and Blenheim, in the Wairau Valley, there are more than 150 vineyards and wineries where you can visit and do wine tastings. Renwick is a great base for this, as it’s easy to get from one place to another by bike.
I spent two nights at a charming inn, where I was the only guest and could really spread out and enjoy the place. The price even included a bike to borrow. Around midday, I set off to visit Bladen Wines and Framingham Wines. Bladen is a small family-run winery. The daughter even gave a one-hour tour, sharing the story of the business and talking about the different grape varieties. Framingham was the first winery in the region to grow Riesling, and that’s where I did a Riesling tasting. I bought two bottles, which I now have to drink over the next four days — otherwise I’d have to carry them along while hiking.Read more
