Wine & Vineyard Christchurch

North of
Christchurch lies Waipara one of New Zealand’s premier wine regions, and
Waipara is the perfect place for your shore excursion. You will get to taste
some of the best wines and sample a range of both white and red. Plus don’t
worry about who will drive, as we take care of the driving for you. We will collect
you from the port, and take you to this picturesque valley and township, only
55mins away from Christchurch, driving through beautiful countryside.



This wine
region is part of the larger North Canterbury wine region that spans nearly
200km of the South Island’s eastern coastline, with the majestic Alps to the
west and the great Pacific Ocean to the east. Waipara has a cool, dry climate
with good sunshine and long growing season that promotes full expression; and
their wines are renowned for their intense flavours, and richness.



You will be driven in comfort in our modern, comfortable minibuses
packed with extras, just to make your journey that bit easier. Led by our fun
and knowledgeable and passionate tour guides, this journey will come to life in
a new way for you.
