Farm, wine and table on a working high country station, then down the hill to Arrowtown.
Royalburn is a true, authentic New Zealand experience, and privileged access to one of the country's most innovative and celebrated farms. Owned by Carlos Bagrie and Nadia Lim, Royalburn Station sits on the high-altitude Crown Range Terrace between Arrowtown and Wanaka, 1,200 hectares of high-country farmland set against a spectacular mountain backdrop.
The land has been worked since the late 1800s, when grain was first grown in its rich soil through hard winters. Today Royalburn has diversified into grains, lamb, free-range hens, beehives and an organic market garden, and stands as a recognised leader in regenerative and ethical farming.
Your guided tour takes in the livestock, the sunflowers and grain fields, the hen house and the market garden, alongside the people who grow the food and care for the animals. It is a personal, immersive look at real farm life. From there a private wine tasting awaits with Mora Wines, hosted on-site amid the farm's beautiful setting. You taste across Mora's premium Central Otago range of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Bubbles and Rosé, each with its own character, and hear the story behind the wines and the people who make them.
Not included: Drinks beyond lunch and the tasting; optional extras arranged on request.
