Overview
Take a Trip to Blenheim on your New Zealand Vacation
Blenheim is located in the north of the South Island and has one of the sunniest climates in New Zealand. Seymour Square is the centre of the city, a public area with a war memorial and a clock tower. The town is surrounded by small hills and the coastline is rugged allowing for some excellent walks along it. It is here you have the opportunity to swim with dolphins and whale watch on a New Zealand Vacation.
Because of its close proximity to New Zealand’s major wine-producing area, it is known for its gourmet cuisine and excellent wines. There are many festivals involving food and wine naturally but there are others involving watersports and floral and garden festivals.
You can enjoy a scenic bike ride through the beautiful landscape or go on a wine tour to sample delectable culinary options paired with wine and have an alfresco dining experience. You can also take a journey to the olive groves, boutique breweries and liqueur distilleries which abound on New Zealand Tours.
