One of our favourite wineries from Bannockburn (just outside Cromwell) has opened a new cafe and cellar door closer to Queenstown! Great news for those visitors whom may not have the time to travel through the Gorge.
Great food here, and we would recommend you book yourself a breakfast here. Follow up with a visit to Arrowtown or a walk around beautiful lake Hayes.
Booking is essential as they’re always full!
