Martinborough wine tasting, cheese and great stories. - We met Simon outside of our Airbnb. It was an hour drive through the mountains on some quite curvy 2 lane roads to Martinborough. Simon regaled us with New Zealand's history, the Mairi history & lore, and his experiences working in all facets of the wine producing industry. While driving & chatting, he kept his eyes on the road - no need for eye contact on dangerous curves! We learned the history of Martinborough, the wine region, and the wineries we visited; Poppies, Moy Hall, and Paliser. Lunch at Moy Hall was Sliced Roast pork on a noodle salad... So delicious. The wine tasting there was with the lunch and the wines complemented it well! Before heading back to Wellington, we stopped at "C'est Cheese" to investigate and taste some NZ cheeses. Lovely shop & excellent cheese choices. Wonderful day! Thank you Simon!
