This afternoon take a scenic drive through to the Greystone PurePod. Set right amongst the award-winning Greystone vineyard, in the heart of the Waipara Valley wine region.
Staying two nights in the Greystone PurePod is an enchanting experience, where you can immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand’s Waipara Valley. You’ll be surrounded by vineyards, lush greenery, and panoramic views through the pristine glass walls of your eco-friendly cabin.
From here you’ll head further north to one of the country’s best wine regions, Marlborough. With a 2-night stay you’ll be able to engage in all things wine.
Embark on an all-day wine tour in Marlborough, where you’ll savour the finest wines amidst rolling vineyards, revel in the region’s sun-soaked landscapes, and indulge in a delightful journey through New Zealand’s premier wine country.
It’s time to head south again and today’s destination is the coastal town of Kaikoura. Famous for the marine life, this seaside village has seen some alterations in the last few years with the impact of an earthquake in 2016. This has changed the geography and increased the land size around the coastline. It is easy to explore and discover the new beauty of the region. The day includes a stop for lunch, but this is at your own expense.
Today you’ll get out on the ocean with Whale Watch Kaikoura. It’ll only be a short way off-shore and you’ll start to experience an array of marine life with the possibility of seeing Sperm or Humpback Whales, Orca, Hector and Bottle Nose Dolphins, Seals and Albatross.
Take the morning to yourself before the short drive back to Christchurch city. Tonight, to top off your food and wine adventure of Christchurch and the Waipara region, take the opportunity for a unique dining experience on Christchurch’s very own Tramway Restaurant. Fabulous dining mixed with a sightseeing tour showcasing Christchurch’s inner-city vibrancy and heritage.
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast before checking out of your accommodation. Drop your car hire off at the airport before checking in for your flight home.
