Heading south to Hawke’s Bay, the city of Napier stands as the Art Deco backdrop to a region known for its Merlot and Syrah. As you explore the Gimblett Gravels, renowned wineries like Craggy Range and Te Mata unfold the secrets of their red varietals in this sun-soaked region.
Venturing to the North Island’s southernmost tip, Martinborough beckons with its boutique wineries, acclaimed for Pinot Noir and exceptional hospitality. Across the Cook Strait, Marlborough, synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc, mesmerizes with endless vineyards against a backdrop of stunning mountains.
The South Island’s Waipara Valley, a hidden gem, offers a cool climate ideal for aromatic whites and Pinot Noir. Meanwhile, Central Otago, known for its alpine Pinot Noirs, beckons from Queenstown, a gateway to the region’s wine adventures. Gibbston Valley stands out, with its dramatic landscapes and pioneering wineries.
Winery tours in Central Otago often depart from Queenstown, providing a seamless journey into the heart of this southern wine paradise.
