Mobile ticket

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 (not included in price). 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.

    We organised this tour ourselves rather than do one organised by the cruise ship we were on. We had a fabulous experience with Bruce, our driver and guide. He drove us around Christchurch pointing out places of interest. We then went to Waipara valley and visited 3 different vineyards for wine tasting in all of them. In the 2nd vineyard we had food served to us, 3 courses of small to medium size portions. I can only describe the food as fine dining as the food was high quality, presented well and very flavoursome. The whole tour lasted 7 hours. I highly recommend this company as I couldn't fault any part of it.
