Wairau Valley Boutique and Heritage
Marlborough’s world famous wine industry is located in the Wairau Valley, with the region boasting 75% of New Zealand’s wine and home to the world famous Sauvignon Blanc.
The Wairau Valley is rich in heritage and ecology, and a great way to learn more about both is on a kayak trip on the Wairau Lagoons, where Royal Spoonbill, shag, bartailed godwit, herons and terns can be spotted. Learn some of the history of Maori here, and of whalers and pioneering settlers.
