Best Wine Regions in New Zealand
Great vines make great wines, but great vines are very particular, requiring the right conditions before bearing fruit.
Thankfully New Zealand has some of the best places in the world to grow wine and that’s why we have so many wine regions. If you are serious about your wine, we recommend adding any of the three big wine regions to your itinerary:
Best Wineries in New Zealand
There are over 500 wineries in New Zealand so unless you’re planning to stay for a few years doing nothing else but visiting wineries, it’s going to be hard to get around them all.
Whilst they’re all of an extremely high standard, we’ve highlighted some of our favourites from the regions featured above, and a few outside as well in case your adventures happen to take you elsewhere.
New Zealand Wineries with great restaurants
We’ve already covered a few wineries with fantastic restaurants but there are plenty more like the ones below which are all especially known for their fine cuisine.
New Zealand Wineries with spectacular views
Not only do our vineyards have great wine and food, they are often located in some of the most secluded and beautiful spots in the country. There’s nothing that adds more to the relaxing ambience than a great view to look at, so we’ve listed the ones we think have the most spectacular views going.
Wine and Food Tours with GO Play
If you’re interested in doing some Wine and/or Food Tours as well as your own independent visits, then that isn’t a problem when visiting New Zealand.
What’s even better is that GO Rentals are partners with a number of the best operators around which means our customers can enjoy discounts using their GO Play cards!
