Our Exclusive “Wine - Milford Sound Trail”

Plan now for an affordable self-drive vacation exploring highlights of that beautiful
visitor-friendly country, New Zealand, traveling via Air New Zealand. Depart from Los Angeles and fly to Auckland, the City of Sails. Visit the Sky Tower and take a guided tour of this incredible must-see metropolis of the Southern Hemisphere.

Then, fly on to Nelson and pick up your car. Do not miss WOW, the World of Wearable Art Museum. There is time for golf, shopping, and visiting historic homes according to your preferences. But, wine! You will take a full day tour visiting wineries and vineyards in the Nelson-Marlborough area, the country’s largest wine-growing region and the one that put New Zealand on the world’s wine map.

The next step is Milford Sound — one of the greatest natural beauty spots in this country of natural beauty spots. Nestled within the World Heritage Fiordland National Park, this region is rich with dense rainforest, lakes, and waterfalls cascading from rugged mountain peaks. You may spend the night on an overnight dinner cruise on the Sound, or fly from/to Queenstown, the alpine village of the South Island.

And finally, travel by air to Christchurch, the largest city on the South Island. Historic Christchurch, a university town, is alive with color, atmosphere, and world-class attractions. It is known internationally for its award-winning gardens. There are the neo-Gothic Arts Centre, the historic tram which loops the city center, the Antarctic Centre, and the Christchurch gondola, plus a host of other unique attractions.

You return on Air New Zealand to Los Angeles from Christchurch — filled with the many wonderful memories of your New Zealand trip.
