In the past ten years the number of New Zealand vineyards has risen to well over 500 and the varieties of wines produced have increased dramatically. Many of the vineyards, however, are not open to the public, or are open by appointment only or for a very limited period. This timely guide details over 150 wineries, from tiny boutique vineyards and old Dalmatian wineries under the house in West Auckland through to the most sophisticated vineyard restaurants and foodie cafes. All the main grape-growing areas are included: Waiheke, Marlborough, Martinborough, Hawke's Bay and Central Otago, as well as lesser-known vineyards in Taranaki, Manawatu, South Canterbury and coastal Otago. Vineyard Visits is the perfect guidebook for an entertaining visit to an interesting location with some good food and wine when you get there. Includes key information on: location, ambience, opening hours, tasting charges, food information, wine specialisation and wine information.
