The Blenheim town centre came alive as hungry hordes flocked to taste everything the region has to offer.
More than 5000 locals and visitors enjoyed fine food and drinks at Feast Marlborough’s Bayleys Friday Night Feast, on Friday night.
Feast Marlborough Charitable Trust founding chair Fiona Fenwick says she was thrilled with the evening.
“The weather came out, the people came out, the food was outstanding; it was a wonderful evening.”
She says the event showcases not just the food and wine, but what we can do as a region.
“It’s such a good showcase for Marlborough,” Fiona says.
About 20 vendors served the record-breaking number of Feast fans.
The Karaka Kitchen, in collaboration with Cloudy Bay Clams and Catalina Sounds, took the trophy in the Marlborough on a Plate competition with their Cloudy Bay Diamond Shell Ravioli with Black Garlic Beurre Blanc, Pete’s Prosciutto & Pea Shoots.
They also won the best dressed stall competition.
“They wiped the board, and they deserve it,” Fiona says.
“They’re fantastic supporters of Marlborough and it’s good to see them recognised.”
