The Marlborough Wine & Food Festival is an amazing celebration of all that we love about Marlborough’s wine, people, food and landscapes. But, gathering 8,000 of our greatest fans together on one site is not sensible while Covid-19 remains a risk.

The Marlborough Wine & Food Festival is held just weeks before harvest - the one and only time our wineries can pick the grapes and craft the wine New Zealand is famous for. We must do all we can to ensure we can undertake a safe harvest, for everyone, and the 2021 Marlborough Wine & Food Festival has been cancelled.

Any tickets purchased to the 2021 event will be refunded.
