Nelson Wine Region

The stunning Nelson region in the South Island is one of the most popular with visitors and locals alike. The Nelson Region's sunny, bohemian environment cultivates artists and craftspeople, exceptional fresh produce as well as some great vineyards and wineries.

The Nelson wine region’s cooler growing conditions are highly suited to Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc varieties.

Small in terms of wine production, the Nelson region is still highly popular with wine lovers. An emphasis on art, crafts and fine food adds to the region's overall appeal.
