Food and Wine

When it comes to food and wine, New Zealand offers a feast for the senses that rivals any global destination. From the sun-soaked vineyards of Marlborough to the rugged alpine beauty of Central Otago, New Zealand’s wine regions are internationally renowned for producing exceptional varietals like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and bold Syrah. Food and wine in New Zealand go hand-in-hand with the landscape—think vineyard dining with panoramic mountain views or fresh seafood enjoyed by the harbourside.

Wine lovers will find their paradise in regions like Marlborough, the world’s leading producer of crisp, citrusy Sauvignon Blanc; Central Otago, home to some of the planet’s most celebrated Pinot Noirs; Hawke’s Bay, with its powerful Bordeaux-style reds; and Martinborough, where boutique wineries offer intimate tasting experiences. Tours like the Wānaka Boutique Wine Tour, Queenstown Original Wine Tour, or Taste Marlborough Wine Tour are perfect introductions to these terroir-driven destinations, especially if you get the chance to visit Amisfield - recognised as the 3rd best resturant in the world served with their award-winning wines.

The culinary scene is just as enticing. From artisan cheeses and Manuka honey to succulent New Zealand lamb, Kaikōura crayfish, and fresh green-lipped mussels, the country’s farm-to-table philosophy ensures you’re always tasting the freshest seasonal produce. Whether you're enjoying a 3-course dinner cruise in Auckland, indulging in gourmet BBQ at Walter Peak, or exploring local flavors on a walking food tour, every bite tells a story.

For beer and spirit lovers, Queenstown Craft Beer Tours and the world’s first Heli Gin Tour bring a unique Kiwi twist to tasting experiences, while cultural fusions are explored through immersive experiences like the Foraging & Cocktail Masterclass in Napier or the Rotorua cultural and culinary tours.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur, a curious foodie, or simply seeking a memorable way to explore the country, food and wine in New Zealand offer a uniquely delicious journey that’s impossible to forget. Start planning your gourmet adventure today and taste your way through Aotearoa.
