Coastal Charms of Gisborne's Wine Region
Situated on the northeast corner of New Zealand's North Island, the Gisborne wine region beckons, offering a tranquil escape just a six-hour drive southeast of Auckland. Bordered by Hawkes Bay and the Waikato regions, Gisborne is renowned for its Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, with a touch of Merlot, Viognier, Gewurztraminer, and Malbec. You can explore these exceptional wines at around six cellar doors. A visit to Bushmere Estate or Matawhero promises delightful cellar door tastings and the chance to savour fine local produce while overlooking the scenic vineyards.
