Beyond the Vines

Featured in the Luxury Travel Magazine
‘BEYOND THE VINES’

Words by Tatyana Leonov

Tayana Leonov & Richard Ellis on tour

What an incredible article on Marlborough in the Luxury Travel Mag “Long celebrated for its sauvignon blanc, Marlborough reveals a deeper, more indulgent side—where boutique lodges, hidden restaurants, heli-flights and sea-to-table feasts offer a luxurious taste of New Zealand’s sunniest region.” Words by Tatyana Leonov

We’re very proud to be featured at “A TASTE OF MARLBOROUGH SOUL” where Tayana joins our winemaker guide Richard Ellis on a bespoke tour and a day full of unique experiences with Ben Cowley at Auntsfield Estate , Richards Ellis at The Marlborist , Brian Bicknell at Mahi , and Yealands VIP container with lunch by Kaiaka , featured under “SLOW SIPS, LONG LUNCHES” AND an e-bike ride amongst the vines (ofcourse!) 🚲

We’ve enjoyed reading about Tatyanas wider experience across Marlborough highlighting her stay at The Marlborough , Food gems like Franks Oyster Bar & Eatery , Gramados Restaurant , Arbour and Harvest Restaurant . More wine and vines with Cloudy Bay . A scenic flight with Precision Helicopters and exploring the sounds with Grant Orchard Katabatic Charters

Tatyana signs off her journey with “From the air, the landscape unfolds like a living map as tidy vine rows give way to rolling hills, then melt into the glinting waters of Marlborough Sounds, stretching in every direction.”
