The reason why this winery is so special is that not only does it have fantastic wine (particularly the Pinot Noir) and offer tastings, but it's the added extras that distinguish it. It has a lovely outside area where you can sit and sample brilliant food from the restaurant, or, and this is what we enjoyed, you can go to the on-site cheesery and order a cheese platter made to your specifications with some lovely cured meats as well.

The winery also has a lovely shop on site selling all sorts of crafts, food and local souvenires. A truly lovely place to enjoy a bottle and spend a few hours, if not a whole afternoon!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22962 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22953 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22953 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22912 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22912 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15408
One of my favourites is the Amisfield Winery which is halfway between Queenstown and Arrowtown on the shores of Lake Hayes. It’s a fantastic place for a relaxed lunch or dinner with a great outdoor terrace (weather permitting). If they’ve got any left, try their rose but I’m afraid I may have drunk it all on my last visit.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15408
