The Marlborough Riverside Hotel is the perfect location at the top of the South Island to explore Marlborough's world-famous wine region, and the stunning Marlborough Sounds. The hotel is a stone's throw of central Blenheim, the largest town in Marlborough, and an easy base to explore the region for a few days or more.
While the Marlborough region is famous for its intense and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, there are so many more varietals to discover while visiting the region's 30 cellar doors and restaurants. There are many options available to tour the wineries. You can self-drive, book a private tour, or cycle through the vines.
