Went to the South Island again earlier in the year and spent the long weekend (I think it was Wellington Anniversary Weekend) up at Wanaka. While at Wanaka, I was fortunate enough to have been able to visit an honest-to-goodness working vineyard! I think I was there on a Sunday which is why the place is deserted. It wasn’t the “Walk In The Clouds” type of sprawling vineyard but it was one just the same. Was quite excited about it because I’ve never really been this close to grapes on a vine. Well, mama has some grapes in her garden, but that doesn’t count. 😛
