Marlborough, the ultimate wine holidaySUPPLIED The Marlborough Wine and Food Festival, at Brancott Estate, attracts thousands of people to the region every year. Marlborough is already known to produce fine wine, but the region is primed to be one of the world's premier wine holiday destinations. New Zealand Winegrowers, the country's organisation for the grape and wine sector, wants to sell Marlborough as the place for an ultimate wine holiday, similar to the already established regions in the world such as the United States and France. NZ Winegrowers wine tourism executive Jamie Bisiar believed the region was already in a great position to attract more wine tourists.
