About
VinLink Marlborough Limited on Liverpool Street in Riverlands is a standout cellar door that focuses on small-batch, quality-driven winemaking in one of the world's premier Sauvignon Blanc regions. Rather than chasing volume, VinLink works closely with local growers and hand-selects fruit to craft wines that genuinely reflect Marlborough's terroir. With a 4.8-star rating from visitors, it's earned a reputation for honest, unpretentious hospitality and wines that consistently impress—whether you're a seasoned collector or exploring Marlborough for the first time.
Expect a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere where staff actually know their wines and aren't pushing the hard sell. Most visits run 45 minutes to two hours, depending on how deep you want to dive into tasting. It suits everyone: couples looking for a quiet afternoon, small groups, and families (kids are welcome, though it's not a playground). The cellar door experience typically includes a flight of 4–5 wines with straightforward tasting notes and the chance to ask real questions. The setting is intimate enough that you won't feel like you're on a factory tour, but professional enough that you'll leave knowing something new.
VinLink fits naturally into a Marlborough wine trail—it's close enough to Blenheim town centre to combine with lunch or a brewery visit, yet far enough into Riverlands to feel like you're discovering something local. Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) are ideal for visiting when the valley is at its best. If you're doing a self-drive wine tour, VinLink is worth stopping for; if you're on an organised tour, many local operators include it on their itineraries.
