From world-famous sauvignon blanc to boutique pinot noir, taste your way through New Zealand's premier wine regions.
The region that put NZ sauvignon blanc on the world map. Cycle or van between 35+ cellar doors in the sunny Wairau Valley.
The world's southernmost wine region produces exceptional pinot noir. Stunning mountain-and-lake scenery between tastings.
A 40-minute ferry from Auckland. Boutique vineyards, olive groves, and sea views — the island produces acclaimed syrah and bordeaux blends.
Combine tastings with local cheese, charcuterie, and seafood. Hawke's Bay and Martinborough specialize in full culinary experiences.
Over 150 wineries producing 77% of NZ's wine. Sauvignon blanc is king, but pinot gris and chardonnay also shine.
Dramatic landscapes around Queenstown and Cromwell. World-class pinot noir from the highest, coldest vineyards in NZ.
NZ's oldest wine region. Known for full-bodied reds, chardonnay, and a thriving food scene around Napier's Art Deco centre.

Compact, walkable village with 20+ cellar doors. Boutique pinot noir and the famous Toast Martinborough festival.
NZ's chardonnay capital and the first wine region in the world to see the sunrise each day.
