The Marlborough Wine and Food Festival got off to a robust start on Saturday, with afficionados of local vintages queuing up early and continuing to flow in during the afternoon.

The 39th edition of the signature event has a 6pm end time, with final glasses poured at 5:30 and the last shuttle bus departing at 6:45.
