Our verdict

A boutique vineyard specialising in organic wines, Tussock Hill incorporates an on-site restaurant that affords views of its verdant grounds and Christchurch in the distance. Open for lunch only, it offers a small menu of sharing plates crafted with seasonal local produce, specifically designed to complement their wines. From house-made sourdough to beef carpaccio or wild caught fish, the food deeply resonates with the art of winemaking.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app, where members save venues, book tables and use the concierge.
