Enjoy a delicious antipasto platter lunch at a beautiful winery - another opportunity to sample the seasonal delights of this region. Savour quality, artisan foods hand-crafted with passion such as feijoa fruit wine, handcrafted chocolates with manuka honey centres, to-die-for gelato made with locally grown berries, boutique blue cheeses, award-winning ice cream and world-class olive oil.
