Sail into New Zealand – a land of striking fjords, emerald hills, and rich Māori culture with Black Ankle Vineyards Proprietor’s, Ed Boyce and Sarah O’Herron.  Every turn reveals another masterpiece of nature – stunning black-sand beaches, dramatic cliffs, unique wildlife, lush hills and world-class vineyards.  Picton and Napier are your gateways to some of the most fertile farmland and colorful vineyards and where you can savor some of New Zealand’s finest wines. Discover Dunedin’s local artistry and splendid Victorian stone buildings and traditional Kiwi cuisine, perhaps a taste of haggis with a locally produced gin?  There is so much to experience on this magical 14-day journey, you’ll wonder why it took you so long to explore this awe-inspiring land.
