What a wonderful experience we shared at the bladen cellar door! Beautiful surroundings, a very homely feel! Deni our host was lots of fun and knowledgeable! Beautiful wines! Best kept secret in marlborough!

After visiting a number of Blenheim area wineries and being served indifferent wines by indifferent staff, we stumbled upon this gem. Great wines, explained with enthusiasm and real knowledge by the lovely daughter of the family. No wonder we were happy to purchase! Definitely not one to miss if you are in the area.

If you're planning a wine-sampling trip around Blenheim, then get Bladen on your list. There are bigger and more well-known places in the area, but Bladen has some excellent wines and a really lovely cellar door.

Well worth a visit to this family run winery and cellar door. Fantastic hosts and great wine

Bladen makes some of the most interesting and unique wines in Marlborough., and they are difficult to buy elsewhere in New Zealand. Among my favourites are the Reisling and the Pinot Gris.

The sampling charge was excessive. Not very user friendly, especially considering the tiny pours and not that great of wine.

This is one of the older wineries in Renwick. It is family owned and a smalle boutique winery. Interesting history and very personal. The riesling was very good.

Fantastic wines and great to meet the owner and hear her story. Delighted that we were able to order wines for delivery in the UK.
