Felton Road
Central Otago, New Zealand
In the world’s most southerly winemaking region, snow-capped mountains engulf Felton Road’s four fully organic and biodynamic vineyards. African Boer goats roam the rugged landscape (to eat the wild Briar roses that would otherwise take over) and, down in the Voodoo Lounge, natural ‘preparations’ are made for the soils (instead of spraying chemicals). You’ll learn all about these techniques on intimately sized tours of the gravity-fed and largely solar-powered winery built into the hillside – an insight into an estate, founded in the 1990s, producing some of the finest cool climate Pinot Noirs going. Reservations required.
