Part of Tour

Taste Canterbury specialises in personalised tours which can be tailored to guests' interests and the time available. Tours are escorted by award-winning food and wine writer Mavis Airey. Because of her contacts, visits can be made to places not normally open to the public. Itineraries vary with the season and availability, eg April is vintage, June the olive harvest, November-December the height of the berryfruit season. Groups of 2 to 6 travel in Taste Canterbury's luxury Toyota Lucida.

Discover Ashburton

Famed for its ski experiences, the Ashburton District has a diverse range of year-round activities: white-water rafting, skydiving, enjoying a country golf course, visiting gardens of blazing blooms, uncovering relics of aviation and transport history, hiking or mountain biking, nature trails or enjoying traditional rural hospitality.

A cluster of high country lakes lure avid fly fishers, a hot air balloon or heli flight provides a bird's eye view of a patchwork landscape, and a 4WD adventure can take you on a journey into the high country wilderness. Heritage trails, craft markets, art galleries, country festivals and farm tours will fill your time with memorable New Zealand experiences.
