Lyttelton Cruise Ship Shore Excursion: North Canterbury Wine Tour
About this experience
Explore the exquisite wines of North Canterbury on this small-group tour from Lyttelton (pick up at Cashel Street), hosted by a guide with deep roots in the region’s wine story. Begin your journey with a warm welcome on Cashel Street and enjoy a scenic drive through Christchurch and north to Waipara, accompanied by commentary about the area’s culture, history and vineyards. Your experience is designed by Bruce Thomas, who established an award-winning winery from the ground up and is keen to share his knowledge and love of wine. You’ll gain a genuine understanding of what makes the Waipara Valley so distinctive — from its limestone soils to its cool-climate elegance. Savour a relaxed morning tea made with local ingredients, followed by two boutique winery visits, including a seasonal lunch at a local winery (not included in price). Finish your day at another family-run cellar door, where you’ll taste exceptional small-lot wines that showcase the diversity of this remarkable region.
