    Since we've moved back to wine and since I'm in Central Otago, what are your favourite cellar doors to visit? The view from Rippon is magic on a sunny day, what others put on a better experience?

    Margrain Vineyard in the rapa is magnificent, well actually they're all varying degrees of awesome to be fair.

    @voodoo For overall experience Gibbston although very touristy do a pretty good job. Mt Difficulty is good.

    The view at Rippon is amazing although this is pretty good

    For drama I reckon Chard Farm looks amazing. I've never driven the road to the vineyard but it looks scary!

    I love Central Otago Pinot, and Felton Road make a beautiful dry riesling too

    Tom Tusher's Amisfield. Great food and a really good Pinot Noir. Down by Lake Hayes, more of a restaurant than cellar door but worth a visit.

    You're not wrong! But I can holiday down in Central Otago at a drop of a hat. Why don't you pop over for a wine...... oh hang on.... locals only! 🙂

    Love Amisfield. When we were in self iso in QT they took a phone order off me, then came out to the car and chucked the box in the boot when I arrived. Quality.

    yeah nice.

    I'm enjoying a tropical winter. blue skies and 25 every day. then down to 12-13 every night. beautiful

    pop over for a beer. and then a wine by the fire (while still in shorts).

    I'll cook you something nice on my new Kamado
