Akarua

Just 25 minutes outside of Queenstown lies the picturesque town of Bannockburn – home to one of New Zealand’s most premiere vineyards and wineries, Akarua.

The award-winning, family-owned business first set down its roots in the stunning Central Otago region in 1995 and ever since the Skegg family has settled for nothing less than producing exceptional wine.

In recent times Akarua, whose sparkling wine is hailed by critics, has scooped many prestigious awards, including three pure gold medals at the 2014 Air New Zealand Wine Awards in November.

With support from The Generalist, Akarua is regularly featured in top national and regional publications.
