Heather Stewart & Simon Waghorn | The Marlborough Wine Podcast

Subregionality and wellbeing in Marlborough’s wine industry

Simon Waghorn was a ‘wannabe seaweed geek’ when he traded his master’s degree in botany to become a winemaker 40 years ago.

Heather Stewart has a master’s in industrial and organisational psychology but fell for the wine industry after taking on a vintage job in 2008.

In the wake of Marlborough’s magic 2023 vintage, Sophie Preece talks to these passionate winemakers about the inaugural Marlborough Wine Industry Wellness Week, and how the new Wine Map of Marlborough will help winemakers and wine companies navigate our subregional wine stories.
