Visit Blenheim with Mighway

Lawson’s Dry Hills Wines

Driven by a hands-on, sustainable approach and inquisitive minds, whether nurturing the grapes in our vineyards or turning juice into award-winning wines, we talk, we taste and we talk some more – pouring our shared inspiration into every bottle.

We derive a lot of satisfaction from putting a bit extra – challenging each situation to ensure we make the best decisions possible. We believe this makes a good thing even better and sets us and our wines apart.

Our cellar door is open daily from 10am until 5pm, seven days a week during the summer. We are closed on all Public Holidays and winter weekends during June/July/August/September.

Marlborough Elite Tours

Marlborough Elite Tours was born in 2009 to fill a gap in the local tourism market by catering to those who wanted a more luxurious approach to exploring the region. It is locally owned and operated by Fay and Brent Silcock.

Both Fay and Brent grew up in Marlborough - New Zealand’s premier wine region. They have been involved in the Wine Industry for many years and both have wine diplomas. They also have an extensive knowledge of Marlborough and the South Island.

They are passionate about the region’s many attractions, from the amazing sea life and scenery of Kaikoura and the beautiful Marlborough Sounds, to the wineries, olive groves and artisans of Marlborough and Nelson. Together they have extensive knowledge to exceed your luxury touring expectations.

The Marlborough River Queen is available to hire for private functions and cruises - we're Marlborough's only floating function centre! Whether you're a couple looking for a unique wedding venue, a local business, or someone with an event to celebrate, we can tailor a cruise so that it's perfect for your group.

Cruises are generally 3 hours long, but your group can be on board at our Horton St moorings before and after the cruise: we're flexible to suit your unique needs. The River Queen can cater for up to 99 people at one time.

Hiring the River Queen for your function and 3 hour cruise costs $1200 incl GST for up to 40 people. There is an additional $25.00 charge for each additional person over 40 people.

We can also do longer or shorter cruises if you are interested.
