Wine not?! 

We called in to Waimea winery just outside of Nelson, which had a real rustic, authentic feel to it. Caitlin was our sommelier, who explained the flavours of our wines in detail, the region of the grapes and what dishes to match them with. We tried the Sauvignon Blanc, Albarino, Sauvignon Gris, Gruner, Rose, Pinot noir and Trevs Red - a speciality blend of various grapes from the region. 

The cheeseboard was a MUST. It came with sheep's cheese Brie, feta and New Zealand's equivalent to Montego, with candied walnuts, chopped beetroot, sliced apple and water melon on the side. It was accompanied by buttery crackers and soft bread which were well and truly cleared from the board. I enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend giving this vineyard a visit. 

Where: The cellar door, Waimea estates, Richmond, Nelson, New Zealand. 

Price:  Tasting was $5 for 3 wines. However we bought a bottle of red, so tasting was knocked off the price!
