Melton Estate

About

Just 20 minutes from Christchurch, this boutique winery and restaurant is your excuse to linger over coffee, brunch, or a relaxed vineyard lunch with friends. They're known for Summer Love Sparkling, a wine practically made for sunshine and celebrations, and their menu celebrates fresh, seasonal flavours that pair beautifully with what they're pouring. Open Thursday to Sunday, it's the kind of place where generous platters and a glass of wine in hand are basically mandatory.
