Wine Tasting tour, Waipara Valley
I'll be honest - I'm slightly tipsy as I write this blog. We've just come back from a full days' wine tasting tour and we consumed a lot of wine.. The four wineries we visited were The Mud House, where we had lunch which was included in the price, Torlesse Wines, Pegasus Bay and Waipara Springs. The whole Waipara region, just North of Christchurch, is famous for it's wineries.
After the tour, I asked to be dropped into the city centre, avoiding the 20 minute walk into town, to put photos up.
I think the two of us actually learned some wine etiquette and knowledge, that's a plus point, right? Being a lightweight always gives it the edge though ;) Lunch was amazing as you'll see from the photos, I think we were expecting a backpacker tour but it was so posh - We weren't complaining! My new favourite wine is White Reisling. Any boxed gifts welcome :) x

This looks and sounds like a fabulous place. It's right up my street.
Ketan: I thought you were a bottled beer man!! Still as they say travelling changes the man.
Great photos as well especially the Mud house cafe and the food.
Funny you say that, I even told Ketan, "Dad would love this tour!"
It was spot on. Food, drink, the whole package :)
I love Reisling! But I prefer the rose. Sounds lovely, i'm glad you decided to do both this and the dolphins :) x
