Kahurangi Estate Winery







During our weekend in the South Island my boo and I went for a nice (windy as F**K) drive to Nelson from Picton and went to visit the Kahurangi Winery. We chose Kahurangi because they make Jeffreys favourite Pinot Noir. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the winery is only bout a 30 drive from Nelson and there are heaps of other wineries on the way if you want to stop off at more than one.

The actual area that is open to the public does not consist of too much - a restaurant serving handmade pizza from a gorgeous woodfired oven ($18.00 each) and sides (large salad $8.00) with the cheapest wine list to match (a glass of Reserve Riesling cost me $6.50 with lunch) a small cellar featuring international wines and clearance wines and then a bar where the tasting happens ($2.00 for 4 tasters refundable on a bottle of wine if purchased).

We walked away with three bottles of wine.. Oops. Three bottles (Pinot Noir, Merlot and Reserve Riesling) of wine, a pizza, salad and two glasses of wine with lunch cost more or less $100.00.

Come on, vamanos!
