Auntsfield's Firelight Soiree

Nestled among rolling vines and steeped in history, Auntsfield Estate sets the scene for this year’s vibrant cocktail celebration, inspired by the rich and diverse cultures of the Pacific Rim.

It was here that David Herd planted Marlborough’s first grapes in 1892 – a legacy now carried on by the Cowley family who continue to honour Herd’s pioneering dream.

As flames flicker from Auntsfield’s three historic fireplaces, and other glowing surprises spark throughout the night, you’ll be treated to an evening of warmth, wonder and celebration. Sip award-winning Auntsfield wines, savour a bespoke gin cocktail from Roots and indulge in bold Pacific Rim-inspired fare.

Colourful entertainment, local musicians and a touch of firelight magic will set the tone for Marlborough’s most-loved party. Dress to dazzle, reconnect with old friends, and meet our fabulous garden owners and visiting presenters for an unforgettable night. 

Ticket price covers entry, entertainment and all food and drinks.

Return bus transport is available from town – purchase separately on the Garden Marlborough website.
