Getting the team together doesn’t always need to mean another meeting around the boardroom table with some sausage rolls. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a team building workshop here and it was a great reminder of just how many different ways our spaces can be used.

Somehow, it’s been a whole year.

One year since we opened the doors at 42 Alfred Street with a pretty big idea: to create a place where people could come together and experience the incredible wine, food and people that make Marlborough what it is.

And what a first year it’s been!!

Some occasions deserve a little more than booking the usual table at the usual place. A milestone birthday. An engagement. A bridal shower. An anniversary. A family reunion. A celebration of life. Or simply one of those moments that brings everyone together.

From creative workshops to wine experiences and full-scale celebrations, there are plenty of ways to give your team a proper send-off for the year. Here are a few of our favourite Christmas party ideas in Marlborough.

The drive from Blenheim to Kaikōura is one of those journeys where getting there is half the fun. Following State Highway 1 south, the landscape changes from Marlborough vineyards to rolling Awatere hills, rugged coastline and, eventually, the dramatic mountains and ocean Kaikōura is famous for.

There’s something pretty special about seeing Marlborough’s creative community come together, especially when it’s in support of such an important local cause.

A vision that's beginning to take shape.

If you've driven past The Alfred recently, you've probably noticed things are looking a little different.

Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, here’s how we’d spend a weekend in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful regions.
