Allan Scott Twelve Trees Restaurant

Twelve Trees Restaurant offers a constantly changing day time menu to reflect the seasonal specialties of the abundant Marlborough produce and compliments the range of wines for which Allan Scott has become famous.

The restaurant is a rammed earth construction providing an insulated environment that is naturally cosy in cold weather and pleasantly cool during Marlborough’s hot summers.


Highfield Estate winery and restaurant

Situated on the Brookby Ridge, Highfield Winery and Restaurant has unsurpassed views of Marlborough's Wairau Valley vineyards. On a fine day sit outside to dine, this place is a great place to enjoy lunch.

If you fancy a change from the vineyards, Picton is a very pretty port town only 18 kilometers away.  

Open for lunch and dinner, Le Cafe offers excellent food, some times live musical entertainment, and always a good view across the harbour.

We also recommend for lunch, Gusto, a charming cafe in High Street, Picton.
