From Arthurs Pass we continued north to Renwick in the heart of New Zealand's Marlborough wine making district. We checked in to a backpacker's hostel and hired bikes from them to ride round the area taking in all the local vinyards that were offering cellar door tastings. Some of the wines were absolutely gorgeous, my favourites being the pinot gris from numerous places. We enjoyed this so much we stayed for a second day to take in yet more wine and soak it all up with an incredibly good lunch. How delightful. Stopping at Grove Mill vinyard, the first carbon neutral yard in NZ, we couldn't resist a quick game of boules between the vines! You'd like it he
