Blenheim, Wine production center in Marlborough District, New Zealand

Blenheim stretches across the Wairau Plain at the meeting point of the Omaka and Opawa rivers in northeastern South Island of New Zealand.

The settlement started in 1847 after a whaling captain acquired the land from Maori people, becoming the capital of Marlborough province between 1865 and 1876.

The Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre presents an extensive collection of aircraft and artifacts that document the history of military aviation in New Zealand.

The town functions as a transportation hub where major highways intersect with the South Island Main Trunk Railway, connecting to Picton port 27 kilometers north.

The region contains numerous vineyards specializing in Sauvignon Blanc production, supported by specific soil conditions and consistent sunny weather patterns.
