So you like wine, huh? How about touring some wineries? You like the sound of that? Well, go on then, read on….

Tours include:

  • Wine tastings at all wineries visited.

  • Pick up from your Christchurch hotel/motel or the Christchurch Visitor Centre, and comfortable return transport in an air-conditioned vehicle.
  • Informative commentary about the region and the wineries.
  • A very friendly and personal service.
  • Opportunity to purchase bottles of wine at the wineries (Some wines are not available from normal retail outlets).
  • Opportunity to walk through a vineyard.
