The event is held on the second Saturday of February annually and lets the world experience the most precious festival. The region's distinction in producing the best wines was brought about by the grape vines which have received a series of both national and international awards. The sauvignon blanc wines, one of the best around the world, is Marlborough's most notable wine.

Marlborough is the largest wine growing region in New Zealand with more than 9000 hectares of vineyards. The leading grape varieties grown are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer. The original grape plantings were on the southern fringes of the plain, but have since spread across the landscape on to the river flats of the Rapaura district, west to the Waihopai and lower Wairau and further south into the Awatere Valley.

From these grapevines has come a string of national and international awards, establishing the region's distinction in producing both still and sparkling wines. The most notable of the wines of Marlborough is clearly its Sauvignon Blanc wines which are amongst the best in the world.
