Blenheim Area Travel Guide
Blenheim Area accommodation, Blenheim Area activities and attractions, Blenheim Area maps, transportation to and around Blenheim Area - the ALL NEW Jasons Blenheim Area Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Blenheim Area.
Blenheim area lies at the heart of New Zealand’s prestigious
Marlborough wine-making region. The town of
Blenheim, with its lovely gardens and sunny climate, is the perfect base for exploring Blenheim area and sampling some of those world-famous sauvignon blancs. History buffs will enjoy Blenheim’s Riverlands Cob Cottage, furnished in traditional pioneer style, and the Brayshaw Museum Park, with its reconstructed colonial village.
West of Blenheim, the small town of
Renwick is the place to plan a gourmet wine and food tour, and there is no shortage of vineyards to visit. Hire a cycle and use pedal power to explore the vineyards - many of the wineries offer lunch and dinner as well as wine tasting. At the small township of
Spring Creek at the eastern end of the Wairau Valley, you can visit more wineries or cast a line for trout on the Wairau River.
