We want everyone raising a glass to toast New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, no matter where they are in the world. So if you’re a Sauvignon Blanc fan, show your appreciation by posting on social media using the hashtags #SauvBlanc, #WineMarlborough #NZWine. And make sure to follow @nzwinegrowers to keep up with all the #SauvBlanc action.

Whether it be a few glasses shared with loved ones and friends, a bottle paired with fish and chips on the beach or a picnic, or a visit to a local cellar door, what will you be doing this #SauvBlanc day?

Join us in celebrating the drop that Marlborough is world famous for. International Sauvignon Blanc Day celebrations begin here in Marlborough - the home of some of the world’s greatest Sauvignon Blancs. Celebrated on the first Friday of May, members are encouraged to spread the #sauvblanc day love by hosting events locally and across the globe and use the digital toolkits provided by New Zealand Winegrowers and Wine Marlborough.

Be sure to let us know what your plans are so we can include your event in marketing material.

The Marlborough Wine Show reviews and assesses wines produced from Marlborough grapes, using panels of experienced judges and rewards top-performing wines with trophies, gold, silver and bronze medals. The show provides a relevant, credible platform for producers to promote their wines and is also a celebration of excellence – not only of the wines, but of the Marlborough industry as a whole.

The Marlborough Wine Show was established in 2011 to demonstrate to international media and markets, the significant sub-regional and style diversity of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and to showcase the region’s wide range of other grape varieties and respective wine styles.
