South Island

A land of otherworldly landscapes, New Zealand's South Island never ceases to dazzle. This famously underpopulated region is ideally suited for those seeking to reconnect with, or to conquer the elements. From adrenaline-pumping action navigating down the Rangitata river to navigating peninsulas and fjords, divine natural surroundings are ubiquitous on the South Island. Pristine wilderness spanning turquoise lakes, jagged peaks, and glistening glaciers place the awesome force of nature front row center. Natural wonders meet a unique terroir, bringing a truly singular farm-to-table culture. Home to famously friendly and epicurean people, South Island may be one of the world's most unlikely culinary destinations. A robust fine dining scene lauded for innovative fusion menus always pairs delightfully with a cool climate wine, from Marlborough's delectable Sauvignon Blanc to Central Orago's famed Pinot.
