Now open later. With the warmer weather stretching into the evenings, we are now on our summer hours. We will be open 10am until 9pm every day and a little bit later at 10pm on Friday and Saturday. We are open for w**e tastings, food, b**r, cocktails and more, seven days a week at 2 Horton Street in the Blenheim C*D. You can find us right beside the river, which means we are accessible on foot from most central spots.

Next w**e club blind tasting night will be Wednesday 11th November as we are closed for a private event on Tuesday night. Last week, we had another mature méthode from Marlborough and an even more mature Chardonnay from Cloudy Bay, two w**es from Hawke’s Bay — a Bordeaux blend and a super varietal Syrah from Trinity Hill — and a classically off-dry and slightly fizzy Riesling from the Mosel. Of course, there were some blind tasting challenges in there, like the single variety Sémillon from Chile, a super fresh high altitude Spanish Garnacha and hairy Garnacha blend (disappointingly, it refers to the leaves) and a fortified Pinot noir (!) from Marlborough. If you haven’t been yet, its really simple — just bring a w**e along, stealthily hand it to the bar team so there aren’t any spoilers, and we will taste them blind together. Note taking is optional, but remember $15 for corkage and snacks.

We’re always happy to host events here at our Small Town W**ery. With Christmas around the corner, keep us in mind for your private party. We have hosted a huge range of events, from baby showers and engagement parties to art openings, live music and also corporate networking nights. We have also been proud to sponsor a few community events that are really important to us, like the Marlborough Book Festival, Pride Wairau, the Marlborough Community Potters Exhibition, the Wairau Nature Network, and the academic talk on Rangitāne and the archeological history of Marlborough as part of the Heritage Festival. Garden Marlborough is coming up next week, which Jane is busy preparing another one of her floral art installations for, so grab some tickets to the talks to see her work on display, or catch it here on Instagram after the festival. We also host w**e community events, and in the new year, we will be hosting some of our biggest events yet as part of the Sauvignon Blanc Conference 2027.

Oisin’s latest two w**es by the glass are a Viognier and a Sangiovese. Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin are a family estate with holdings in Condrieu, and the grapes for their La Champine are grown just outside the appellation. Expect a rich, oily texture, though with good freshness for a Viognier, with flavours of apricot, orange blossom and nutmeg. The red is a Chianti Classico from a small 1 hectare vineyard in the commune of San Casciano in Val di Pesa in the north-west of Chianti Classico. It’s a region more famed for Super Tuscans like Tignanello, but here we have a w**e made in the classic style, with black cherry and some woodsy wild strawberry flavours. It’s ready to drink now after its quite extensive aging; it is a reserva with 18 months in barrel and a further 30 months in bottle before release.

It feels like summer in Marlborough already. Today’s beautiful sunshine perfectly paired with our classic warm weather bruschetta of tomato, basil and mozzarella. Best enjoyed under our umbrellas on our Ōpaoa riverside terrace.

Our next blind tasting w**e club night is on Tuesday the 27th at 5:30pm. We had a big lineup last time, with some fascinating older bottles, the 10 y/o Hunter’s MiruMiru and 27 y/o Akarua Pinot Noir; some super easy blind tasting spots, like the Friulano or the Vinho Verde red blend of Brancellao, Caíño Tinto and Pedral (who could have missed these?); some classics, like the Vouvray Chenin blanc and the Beaujolais nouveau — from Hawke’s bay, not to be confused with the cru Beaujolais made by a Burgundy producer in a Burgundian style. If you’re new, check out our Eventfinda page for more info, but the simplest way to put it is: bring a bottle of w**e and $15 for corkage, and we will keep the table plied with some bread, cheese and charcuterie as we blind taste the w**es we have all brought. Come for a serious tasting if you like, or just spend an evening enjoying a bunch of unfamiliar w**es in our cellar door.

If you’re looking to grab some fried chicken with your glass of w**e in our w**e bar, swipe to see this week’s food truck opening hours. Chocolate and Ginger will be here tonight and Sunday night with their trailer of fried chicken menu, and Sasa.express will be here Friday and Saturday serving their classic menu (don’t worry, it also includes fried chicken).

Another quick spring popup bruschetta — asparagus and a few of its friends. We start with a creamy, savoury parmesan custard made with a generous portion of the same Parmigiano Reggiano we serve as a cheese, bring out the nutty notes with some toasted local hazelnuts and balance the richness with some beautiful aged balsamic vinegar. On while asparagus are sweet and crisp.
