In Hawke's Bay: Craggy Range, Paritua, and Trinity Hill. In Marlborough: Nautilus, Clos Henri, and a place called No. 1 Family Winery for really excellent sparkling wines. Down in the Queenstown/Gibbston Valley area: Mora, Kinross, Peregrine, Mt. Rosa, and Gibbston Valley Winery. It's honestly hard to go wrong at a winery in New Zealand!

Hahaha, like I said, we spent most of our 15 days there drinking wine. Totally worth it! All of these places are making some incredible wines!

Bonus benefit of both New Zealand and South Africa: epic wine regions! I spent 15 days in NZ earlier this year, mostly drinking wine with my husband. We haven't made it to South Africa yet, but it's on the list!

You’re very right! Since I last visited both places as a minor, I haven’t been able to indulge in their wines yet. What a shame that I’ll have to go back... Which wineries were your favorite in New Zealand?
