Local Hotspot: Harvest Restaurant Blenheim

Marlborough is a beautiful spot and living in Blenheim is great. However, when people visit or travel through our small town, many customers find it hard to decide what to do as most places are scattered around the countryside and not always heavily advertised.

Last month I started a small segment introducing Local Hotspots to you and I have decided to continue sharing them for the rest of 2024. I will also try to get out there myself visiting and enjoying the places as well as motivating you to visit one new place every time you travel through.

​Please feel free to send me any suggestions you may have, and I will check it out!!!

This month I would like to introduce you to one of my favourite spots for a great lunch or dinner. The Harvest restaurant is part of a boutique hotel neatly tucked away in the countryside near Blenheim and produces great food using local produce paired with some amazing wine.

Poppy and I have an emotional connection to the place as we were fortunate enough to celebrate our wedding at the venue and absolutely love visiting the restaurant.

My opinion is that the restaurant produces amazing food for a reasonable price showcasing the amazing produce and wine the region has on offer paired with a stunning secluded yet accessible location. It’s well worth a visit and I can only
highly recommend Harvest to anyone who appreciates good food, wine, and service.

Tip: You do not have to stay at the Hotel to enjoy the restaurant.

Alternatively, you may wish to find a shady spot in the beautiful gardens or vineyard with a small bite and refreshing beverage.

No matter the occasion, at Harvest we aim to create an atmosphere and experience that reminds diners of the true meaning of hospitality.
