Marlborough Wine Show Celebration

Friday 13 November 2026 | Queen Charlotte Yacht Club


The Marlborough Wine Show Celebration is back!

Join us for an afternoon of celebration as we recognise the people, wines and achievements that make Marlborough’s wine industry what it is today.

Be there as we present the 2026 Marlborough Wine Show trophies and celebrate the outstanding winemaking and viticultural talent of the region. We’ll also present the Wine Marlborough Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising outstanding contribution and achievement within the Marlborough wine industry.

Set at the Queen Charlotte Yacht Club in Picton, the celebration brings together award-winning wineries, industry peers and partners for an afternoon of great wine, food and connection.

Enjoy roaming canapés and the opportunity to taste the Gold Medal and Trophy-winning wines from the 2026 Marlborough Wine Show, while celebrating alongside colleagues and friends from across the industry.

The Marlborough Wine Show, sponsored by QuayConnect, is proudly run by Wine Marlborough to champion excellence, provenance and diversity in New Zealand’s largest wine region.
