Tussock Hill
1 Michelin Star · Cuisine Good Food Guide 1 Hat
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.
