Canterbury

Christchurch, located on the South Island is the largest outside of the north and home to a majority of the region's population. With a diversified agricultural economy, visitors will witness dairy farming, sheep dotted fields and a thriving vineyard region. 

The region's viticulture industry was established by the French, with wine-growing concentrated between the Waipara and Burnham regions. New Zealand's famous white wine is mostly featured - Riesling, Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot gris. Recently pinot noir has come into some success in Waipara as well.

Customer reviews

Just wanted to thank you again for such a memorable trip. The best of my life. Still processing all that we saw and played. Blown away. I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

What a fabulous itinerary you made for us. It was perfect!

Wonderful country, delightful people, delicious food, and amazing scenery like no other. I guess our only major complaint is that we didn't have longer to see more of the country! You really planned it well for us. It felt balanced in the way of activities, driving days, photo opportunities, even some R&R in the afternoons.
