Blenheim (pronounced ‘Blenum’) is a dead-flat, agricultural town 29km south of Picton on the Wairau Plain, between the Wither Hills and the Richmond Ranges. Aside from banks, supermarkets and couple of good eateries, Blenheim doesn’t offer much to enthral or distract, but you must come here to check out the sensational Marlborough Wine Region just over Blenheim’s back fence.
