ITM Welcome Function - Thursday 16 April - Wither Hills Winery
Founded on the sincere belief that the finest wines are always created from exceptional vineyards, we kick off the social activities with a visit to Wither Hills, one of Marlborough’s most popular wineries and built by RMB member Nick Robinson. A fantastic chance to taste some of winemaker Ben Glover’s award winning wines of the region.
Carters Happy Hour and Charity Auction - Friday 17 April - Marlborough Convention Centre
After a full on day of conference business, relax and wind down with a drink and nibbles, followed by our legendary Charity Auction. The Charity for 2009 is the Marlborough/Nelson Westpac Rescue Helicopter. We are always amazed at the way our members put their hand in their pockets to support these great causes.
PlaceMakers RMB Wine and Food Festival - Saturday 18 April - The Willows
The grand finale and always a major highlight of the RMBF conference. Join us at the fabulous “PlaceMakers RMB Wine and Food Festival”. Food and wine of the region will be the order of the day set at the fabulous backdrop of The Willows. This is based on the Marlborough wine and food festival so we advise you to dress accordingly (i.e. reasonably casual not Black Tie).
