Blenheim is a town in Marlborough, in the northeast of the South Island in New Zealand. It has a population of about 30,000. The area which surrounds the town is well known as a centre of New Zealand's wine industry. It enjoys one of New Zealands sunniest climates, with hot summers and crisp winters.
The region has a wide range of leisure activities, from swimming with dolphins in the Marlborough Sounds to watching whales in Kaikoura; from walks through the bush and along the rugged coastline, as well as scenic boat cruising, fishing, water-skiing and kayaking. The relaxed lifestyle and the flourishing wine and gourmet food industry in Marlborough are enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike.
Blenheim is named after the Battle of Blenheim (1704), where troops led by John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough defeated a combined French and Bavarian force.

Blenheim is an absolutely ammaculate and beautiful large town there are lots of vinyards and it's sunny 9 times out of 10, I was born there and still have family there so I am partial to the place but if you see for yourself you would agree it is gorgeous. I visited late last year and noticed it's becoming quite trendy with new cafes and resturants opened with competitve prices too. I cant say the same for clothes shopping though, it's still exspensive .
We arrived in Blenheim in April 2003 as immigrant from southern Africa. We have loved every moment of our new lives. We boast by saying that we live in Beautiful Blenheim in Majestic Marlborough! We will become citizens this year & we are proud of Blenheim connections. We have so much to be grateful for! Thank you to all those wonderful Kiwis who have made our assimilation a delight.
