Marlborough

Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest wine growing area, producing mostly sauvignon blanc.The sea drowned valley of the Marlborough Sounds is also a picturesque sight. The sounds make up a fifth of all New Zealand’s coastlines as it weaves around the insets of the sounds. It’s also a natural habitat for many of New Zealand’s native animals including the Rowi kiwi, Stephens Island tuatara, fur seal, the rare King Cormorant, little blue penguin and up to five species of dolphin.
