FOOD AND WINE New Zealand's food and wine scene is as rich and varied as its landscape. It is home to roughly 700 wineries, with vines shrouding the island from the tip of Northland, to Central Otago in the south.

The Pacific Rim cuisine found in New Zealand brings together the best of the region's culinary influences, and capitalises on top- quality, home-grown and bred meats, seafood, and produce.
