Marlborough Wine & Food Festival (New Zealand)

As New Zealand's oldest wine festival, the Marlborough Wine & Food Festival anchors its reputation on the Sauvignon Blanc capital of the world, pouring from 40+ wineries in a vineyard setting that launched Kiwi wine globally. The event also features a blind-tasting competition where local winemakers vie for the 'Best in Show' trophy, a tradition that has identified six future award-winners since 2022.
