Lake Wānaka

Wānaka is one of New Zealand's renowned wine regions. Using the 'September Travel Grant,' I joined a winery tour near the lake. Although September is not yet the season for ripe grapes, strolling through the vineyards, learning about the wine-making process, and tasting the wines was a delightful experience. Especially notable was the region's signature wine, Pinot Noir, which boasts a rich aroma and smooth taste. The scenery of vineyards surrounded by the lake and mountains was picturesque in itself. Wānaka in September is a perfect gourmet travel destination where you can enjoy both wine and stunning nature.
