Otago Food and Wine - What to See & Do. If you are looking for comprehensive travel information for Otago Food and Wine including Café, Licensed Restaurant, Other Food and Wine, Restaurant, Takeaway and Vineyard, you will find it here on AA Travel.
Eating out can be one of the
highlights of a holiday in Otago. You can expect to find
wonderful examples of edible excellence throughout the country, and the
high standard of food offered by cafes and restaurants can be attributed
to an unlimited supply of fresh, quality ingredients.
The cuisine
style known as Pacific Rim is New Zealand's point of difference. Pacific
Rim blends the flavours of South East Asia, the Pacific and Japan.
Seafood, the traditional Maori hangi (an earth oven), fresh fruit and
locally produced venison and beef are just a selection of the must-try
cuisine on offer. Combine this with world-class locally made wines and
you have a memorable dining experience.
For those who want to escape city noise, high-rise buildings and the daily grind of big city life,
the southern part of New Zealand is the ideal place to visit. Its rugged, unspoilt landscape is a
fertile place of green farmland and forest, laced with sparkling clean waters and small
towns.
Dunedin is the capital of a sparsely settled region that once swarmed with gold prospectors.
These prospectors made it the largest New Zealand city in the mid-Victorian era. Dunedin is a city
of culture and learning, distinguished by libraries, museums and galleries. It has cultural
diversity, many churches, and a statue of Robert Burns in the city's central Octagon, which is a
reminder of the city's Scottish heritage. Dunedin is rich in history, which can be seen in its
museums, churches, historic buildings and stately homes.
The Waitaki region is known for its lakes
and hydroelectric dams, rolling farmland, exquisite Oamaru stone, the rare yellow-eyed and blue
penguins, and fishing. From the mountains to the sea, Waitaki is rich in natural beauty, including
the clay cliffs at Omarama, which are a short drive off the main road. The east coast at Moeraki is
teeming with wildlife including penguins, seals, fish and dolphins. Southland's largest urban centre
is Invercargill, a city memorable for its elegant buildings, gardens and landscaped parks. Tranquil
waterways through this region attract fly fishing enthusiasts in search of brown trout. Key
attractions include Stewart Island, and the Catlins Coast where visitors will find the best of every
world - rivers, waterfalls, beaches and wildlife encounters.
The Clutha River has great fishing and
boating. Balclutha, on its banks, is the main town of this productive agricultural area of South
Otago.
On the coast, the Catlins area contains forests, walkways, beaches and caves.
In the far
south of New Zealand, the rich farming country of Southland contrasts with the natural wonders of
Fiordland, where there are deep rainforests and high alpine lakes, thick bush and rare, elusive
birds.
