The Great Crusade arrived in Blenheim to experience the world-renowned wine region of Marlborough. Situated at the northern tip of the south island, Marlborough produces some of the world’s best examples of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

Wither Hills treated The Great Crusade to an afternoon of wine tasting starting with a stroll through the vineyards, where the group learnt about different varietals from the winemakers themselves. After leaving the vineyard, everyone was welcomed to the Wither Hills tasting rooms for a variety of fun-filled activities around the property. Everyone was able to sample more amazing wines, before being treated The Great Crusade to a beautiful meal of Lamb Shanks, paired with award-winning Pinot Noir.

If you are lucky enough to visit Marlborough, make sure to stop off at Wither Hills and be delighted by their range of delicious wines, paired with local produce to create a fantastic experience for the tastebuds.
