New Zealand School of Wine planned for Blenheim

Blenheim could become an educational hub for winemaking and viticulture under ambitious plans to develop a New Zealand School of Wine in Marlborough. Marlborough Boys’ and Marlborough Girls’ College have submitted proposals that college staff teach year 12 and 13 students level two and level three NCEA in wine production and viticulture from 2016. The colleges are in talks with the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology for the centre to be based at their Budge St campus in Blenheim.
