Black Estate

Christchurch & Canterbury


Perched on a hillside overlooking the valley, this striking black barn is home to some excellent drops – try the pinot noirs from the winery's three nearby vineyards, each of which have a distinctive terroir of their own. The attached light-filled restaurant offers stunning views and food that champions local producers (mains $32 to $38).
