Sublime times at Wine and Food

William Woodworth

The Marlborough Wine and Food Festival saw thousands strut their stuff between winemakers, food stalls and dancefloors.

The sun shone, the wine flowed and there was plenty of food to tempt the taste buds as people enjoyed Marlborough's iconic Wine and Food Festival.

Good vibes and plenty of smiles saw Saturday's event go without a hitch, as famous chefs and great tunes made for an entertaining day out.

Thousands dressed in their summer finery arrived at the Renwick Domain to celebrate the special day in temps topping 27 degrees.

Music from Ladyhawke, Mitch James, Sweet Mix Kids, NZ Army Band, Hello Sailor and Jaydin Singleton got the crowd on their feet, while cooking masterclasses with Al Brown, Polly Markus and Bradley Hornby kept culinary fans fascinated.
