Story: Marlborough region
Marlborough’s reputation as a ‘gourmet region’ was captured in Marlborough on the menu, a 2008 publication by Jan Bilton and Belinda Jackson, with local wine, mussels, cheese and salmon all on the cover. The book won the ‘golden ladle’ award for the best wine or food guide at the 2010 Le Cordon Bleu world food media awards.
