Our Picks for Winery Lunches
Marlborough is a beautiful setting for lunch and many of our local vineyards have restaurants that provide a high standard of food and service. All place emphasis on using fresh, locally sourced food, served of course with matching wines.
A beautiful venue that’s great for families, this winery features a large outside grassy area with games overlooked by the seating area. In the winter, the big indoor fireplace provides a cosy atmosphere with plenty of good tables.

This has been a most glorious stay. To us this was like a home away from home with something a little extra! With quality fittings and fixtures you have made this stay extraordinary in every sense. If only we could stay longer. This is no ordinary level of accommodation. Well Done. ***** 5 Star
