Explore the exquisite wines of North Canterbury on this small-group tour from Lyttelton, guided by a team with deep roots in the region’s wine story. Begin your journey with a warm welcome at the port and enjoy a scenic drive through Christchurch, accompanied by engaging commentary about the area’s culture, history, and vineyards.

Your experience is led by Bruce Thomas, founder of Greystone Wines, one of North Canterbury’s most celebrated vineyards. With Bruce’s insider perspective, 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 three-course lunch at Greystone Wines paired with five handcrafted wines. 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.
