Waipara's top vineyard, family-owned Pegasus Bay produces an impressive array of high-quality wines. Co-owner Ivan Donaldson, an international wine judge and writer, and in his spare time a professor of neurology, is the "Mr Wine" of Canterbury. There are three vineyards to visit, in the Waipara region. The restaurant food is great and there are lovely gardens, a lake and a woodland area to wander around. Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot and dessert wines are all produced at this hillside vineyard, south of the Waipara River. The 1996 Pinot Noir, 1997 Chardonnay and 1998 Riesling, in particular, are first class.
Tours: Large tours by appointment only.
