Classic NZ Wine Trail - Wellington
Between the wine regions of the
Wairarapa in the North Island, and
Marlborough in the South Island, Wellington makes an ideal stopover on the Classic Wine Trail.
One of New Zealand's most energetic urban destinations, Wellington offers all the delights of a cosmopolitan city, yet its compact size creates a cosy and friendly village atmosphere. Its allure lies in a combination of big city attractions, such as restaurants, shopping and the groundbreaking national museum,
Te Papa Tongarewa, and stunning natural attractions, such as the
Karori Wildlife Sanctuary. Wellington is the ideal place to explore New Zealand's history and culture. From the dynamic exhibits at Te Papa Tongarewa and the
Wellington Museum of City and Sea, to the historic inner-city suburb of Thorndon, where Katherine Mansfield once lived, visitors can enjoy a non-stop, cultural, social and historic experience.
Downtown Wellington is divided into four quarters, each with its own character: Lambton Quarter for retail indulgence, Willis Quarter for lifestyle and luxury, Cuba Quarter for originality and urban funk, and Courtenay Quarter for 24-hour entertainment and a superb selection of restaurants, cafés and nightclubs.
