As we were in one of New Zealand’s prime wine producing areas, we had to go on a wine tasting tour didn’t we? But our first stop was Makana Confections, just outside Blenheim, which is a boutique chocolate factory. I got to see chocolates being made after all and the free samples were delicious :-).
From there we went to the beautiful vineyard of Domaine Georges Michel and then to Cloudy Bay, where we were taught how to taste wine properly (except they didn’t tell us spit it out afterwards, although Morris would have if he’d tried it because he doesn’t like wine).
We had lunch at The Village, where there was also olive tasting and a quilting barn before relaxing back in Blenheim.
Another fun day!
