The Marlborough Wine Weekend will showcase the very best of Marlborough in an atmosphere of conviviality, fine wine and gourmet cuisine. 300 wine lovers will be treated to an array of once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Following registration and a picnic brunch in the historic and exclusive Timara Lodge on Friday, you will be invited to attend the first ever Marlborough Wine Weekend Master Class Series at local wineries. The guests will be broken up into groups of 30 and transported to different Marlborough wineries and treated to a winemaking/blending session with Marlborough’s leading winemakers. The second master class involves a comprehensive white wine and cheese pairing hosted by New Zealand’s leading cheese and wine experts.
After the Master Class Series enjoy, at your leisure the extensive gardens at Timara Lodge and join the other guests at the Twilight Garden Party. This event will be hosted by Marlborough’s leading chefs who will prepare a delectable array of dishes to match our region’s wines.
On Saturday, guests will be taken on a journey around the sub regions of Marlborough and given special access to beautiful sites that are not open to the general public. The guests will be split into two groups, the first will be taken on the Marlborough Pinot Noir Experience and the second will be whisked away to the Awatere Valley for the Evolution of Sauvignon Blanc. At lunchtime the groups will come together for the Long Lunch and will again be treated to a stunning natural location while enjoying some of Marlborough’s delicious local produce.
That night Timara Lodge will host the Marlborough Gourmet Feast in a fairy tale setting in the classical gardens of the lodge. An internationally acclaimed chef will design a delectable 4 course degustation menu to match a selection of library wines from the cellars of Marlborough’s top wineries.
Finish up on Sunday with a short bus ride to Havelock where the Marlborough Travel Odyssea Launch will be waiting to take you on a relaxing Marlborough Sounds Cruise.
Limited to 300 places, tickets will go on sale from 1st July at www.marlboroughwineweekend.co.nz
