From the cool, crispness of Southland to the warm subtropics of the far north, New Zealand has a smorgasbord of growing conditions. Viewed through the eyes of a pleasure-seeking traveller, the country offers the opportunity for a remarkable epicurean adventure.

The creativity of our chefs is matched only by the quality of our ingredients, and the wine’s truly sublime. Every region of New Zealand has something special to tempt you with.

Every region has its food and wine specialities. In the geothermal city of Rotorua you can try succulent, smoky Maori hangi food, which is cooked in an earth oven. Central Otago will win you over with classy pinot noir, best teamed with roast lamb or twice-cooked duck. In Marlborough you can enjoy some of the world’s best sauvignon blanc - a perfect match for scallops from Golden Bay or green-lipped mussels from Havelock.

Efficient transport systems share the ingredients around, so wherever you choose to travel in New Zealand you can taste the whole country. And our chefs love to play with the flavours of the Pacific Rim - Polynesia, South East Asia, Japan. Expect the unexpected!

Let a helicopter whisk you to a mountaintop picnic, eat fresh Bluff oysters at a quayside restaurant, enjoy rack of lamb at a country lodge - New Zealand wants to show you a very tasty time.
