Introduction

Marlborough Region is a region at the north of South Island, New Zealand. It is famous for its fine wines, particularly Sauvignon blancs. The primary town in Malborough is Blenheim, which has a population of around 30,000. Picton lies on the north shore of the Malborough Sounds and is the South Island stop for the Interislander ferry that runs between Wellington and Picton.
