A fifth-generation farmer and grape-grower in Marlborough has unveiled a multimillion-dollar venture blending golf and wine tourism. The project features a cellar door with a driving range, offering visitors a unique experience of wine tasting and golfing. The development is set to open in 2025, with plans to host events and attract both local and international guests.
The venture is led by a family that has been cultivating grapes in the region for over four decades. They aim to leverage Marlborough’s reputation as one of New Zealand’s premier wine-producing areas while introducing a new dimension to the tourism industry. The driving range will be integrated into the winery’s existing facilities, allowing visitors to enjoy a round of golf followed by a wine tasting.
Marlborough has long been known for its high-quality Sauvignon Blanc and other varietals. The region’s wine industry has seen steady growth in recent years, with increasing interest from tourists and wine enthusiasts. This new project represents a strategic move to diversify income streams and enhance the visitor experience. The development is expected to create local jobs and boost the regional economy.
