Marlborough wine leaders visit China

A visit to an emerging winemaking province in China could pave the way to a sister city relationship with the region, the Marlborough mayor says. A group of six wine industry leaders and a Marlborough District Council representative left Marlborough for Ningxia, China on Saturday. The group will attend a wine conference in the region and be hosted by the Ningxia Wine Bureau, which is meeting the cost of accommodation and transport in China.
