Savour award-winning wines and striking landscapes on this indulgent half or full day escape to the renowned Waipara Wine Region. A journey of flavour, history, and natural beauty awaits.
Your day begins with a pick-up from your accommodation and a scenic drive north in your private luxury vehicle, passing through the charming riverside town of Kaiapoi, rich in Māori heritage. As you cross the Ashley and Kowai Rivers, the landscape opens up into the rolling hills and sun-soaked vineyards of Waipara – one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine regions. Waipara’s unique microclimate produces elegant, earthy Pinot Noir, crisp, zesty Chardonnays, and beautifully aromatic Rieslings and Pinot Gris. With curated tastings at a selection of boutique wineries, your palate will be expertly guided through the region’s finest pours.
Between 4 exclusive vineyard tastings, indulge in a leisurely vineyard lunch, with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients paired perfectly with a glass of wine and sweeping views of the valley. This is where Waipara’s flavour truly comes to life.
Experience 2-3 vineyard tastings on the half day tour with a cheeseboard platter to accompany your tasting at a selected cellar door.
If desired, take a gentle riverside stroll or simply unwind among the vines before a relaxed return journey to Christchurch. Along the way, your guide shares stories, history, and a few local secrets, the perfect end to a day well sipped.
