Your friendly hosts at the Walnut Block Cottages are Clyde and Helen Sowman. They live nearby and are happy to advise you on everything from local activities to excellent restaurants. The cottages are secluded and self-contained if you wish complete privacy.
The luxury self-contained cottages at Walnut Block offer unique vineyard accommodation just outside Blenheim in the Marlborough wine region.
Marlborough’s oldest walnut tree, from which Walnut Block takes its name, towers majestically above the Sauvignon Blanc vines. More than 100 years old, it provides a special historical focal point for the vineyard. The panoramic views from each of the cottages take in the walnut tree, the rows of vines and the mountain range in the distance.
Clyde and Helen along with their children Ella, Pippa, and Max welcome you to Walnut Block.
First planted in 1996, the Walnut Block vineyard lies in the world-renowned Wairau Valley in Marlborough. Walnut Block Wines’ first vintage was in 2005 and the vineyard was certified organic in 2013.
