Central Otago region wineries

​The world's southernmost wine region is a dramatic landscape of mountains, lakes, and schist soils. Central Otago has earned a stellar reputation for its intensely flavored Pinot Noir, which thrives in the extreme continental climate. The sub-regions of Bannockburn, Gibbston, Cromwell Basin, Wanaka, and Bendigo each contribute unique expressions of this noble grape.
