boat and jump into a day where you will delight your tastebuds with some of New
Zealand’s best beer and wine. This Taste of New Zealand Tour will take you

Canterbury has to offer. You will learn a wealth of information and will arrive

We
visit three locations on this tour:

·        
Straight 8 Estate – Located just south of Rolleston this family-owned vineyard is a
relaxing and welcoming with plenty of space to wander around. It is also named
after a 1935 Light Sports Railton which has been in their family for 50 years.
This classic vintage racing even has its own garage inside the cellar door
dating back to its era and it is still being used today - not just a showpiece.

·        
Brew Academy
– Located in Waltham, Christchurch, this is the place to taste some of New
Zealand’s best beers, and they have teamed up with Smoke n Barrel for the
perfect food to along with it.

·        
The Spirits Workshop – Located in Sydenham, they are a small batch distillery that began
when four whisky lovers brought a small still, with a curiosity to develop distinctly
New Zealand spirts. There is always a story behind each of their products and
what they have created.

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.
