10 February
The 2024 Marlborough Wine & Food Festival will build on the success of the 2023 event, described by 2023 guest chef Peter Gordon as an "international class festival". Wine Marlborough Events Manager Loren Coffey says the new venue at Renwick Domain has allowed organisers to expand the offering, with the likes of The Lounge and The Groove Garden, where the Vinyl in the Vines DJs proved hugely popular. "It also means we can increase the number of Masterclasses, which are a really special part of the festival, allowing people to learn from a really impressive line up of winemakers and local producers."
