Getting There

The Organic & Biodynamic Winegrowing Conference is being held in Blenheim, Marlborough at the ASB Theatre (map below).  Marlborough has an airport with regular daily flights to and from Wellington & Auckland.  It is also accessible by the Cook Strait ferry from Wellington via Picton or by train from Christchurch.  It is an 1 1/2 hour drive from Nelson.

Accommodation

We recommend staying at Chateau Marlborough or Scenic Circle Hotel Marlborough. Both are located within walking distance to the conference.  Secure one of the rooms being held for delegates.  When booking, just let them know you are attending the Organic & Biodynamic Winegrowing Conference .
