• 3A little disappointing

  Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful but we were pretty disappointed with 2 of the 3 wineries. The lunch although fine was also a little underwhelming.

• 5A fantastic day out!

  We had a lovely day with Paul touring around the Waipara wine area. From pick up to drop off, Paul was informative and knowledgeable. The wineries were all different and lunch was delicious! Thank you Paul for a great experience!

  I booked this for my mum and her partner for my mums 65th birthday. They came back so happy and told me they had the best experience! The tour guide was lovely and they highly recommend this tour! My mum even got some cake, so sweet!

About Christchurch

Christchurch is the South Island's largest city, a flat, green city on the Avon River with the Southern Alps and Banks Peninsula close by.

Christchurch was planned by English settlers in 1850 around a central square and the Avon River, which winds through the city past willows and lawns. Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens cover a large green area beside the centre, and punts glide along the river. The Gothic Revival Arts Centre, built for the university, houses studios and cafés, and Canterbury Museum stands beside the gardens.
