Fun by firelight

Eager revellers are ready for Garden Marlborough’s most esteemed event, the Auntsfield Garden Party, with tickets are getting more limited by the day.

Nestled among rolling vines and steeped in history – being the site of Marlborough’s first grape vines - Auntsfield Estate sets the scene for this year’s vibrant Garden Party inspired by the rich and diverse cultures of the Pacific Rim.

Garden Party Committee Chair Lucinda Clay and Auntsfield owner Ben Cowley are keen to combine and bring a highlight night to a starring weekend for the region within the estate’s three historic fireplaces.

“Our committee puts so much thought into planning each year as we want guests to be wowed by a night full of surprises, laughter, and great Marlborough hospitality”, says Lucinda.

“This year’s party will have all of those elements and more!” The evening will showcase Auntsfield’s long heritage, where David Herd planted Marlborough’s first grapes in 1892.

“Auntsfield has such a rich history, and it’s wonderful to share it with the community”, says Ben.

“We love welcoming guests to enjoy our wines and heritage while soaking up the fun, surprises, and festive atmosphere of the Garden Party”.

Guests will be entertained by DJ Getset, alongside local fire dancers and Kaiaka’s Pacific Rim-inspired fare, complemented award winning Auntsfield wines and bespoke gin cocktails from Roots.
