And, specifically I moved from Bristol. It is a vibrant city with two Universities, and therefore a large student population &#8211; approximately 50,000. Pub culture is big in Bristol. Living in a shared house with a group of mates, we once decided to move house just to be nearer to the pub we liked best: <b>The Cadbury House<\/b> in Montpelier. Every now and then, we would catch a bus into the city and walk back to our student digs about 3 kilometres away, visiting the dozen pubs along the way. Bag of chips and slump into a deep sleep.<\/p><p>After quite easily managing to visit every pub in the city centre, I set myself a personal goal &#8211; every pub in Bristol. When I settled down a bit with the future Mrs WineFolio, we moved to the western side of town. Still about 3 kilometres from town, but in a less studenty area. Here they had decided that having a pub on every street corner wasn\u2019t quite enough, so there was often one halfway done the street. Lots of potential targets for a man with a list to tick off..!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1c658bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1c658bf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-85fd3ee\" data-id=\"85fd3ee\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-537d108 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"537d108\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As the months came and went, I found it harder to unearth a new pub.

I\u2019ve even been in the <b>Black &amp; White Caf\u00e9<\/b> (google it) &#8211; now that was a very quick half (of Red Stripe).<\/p><p>Fast forward to new Zealand &#8211; and sorry, but the pubs are crap. So, a new goal has been set &#8211; visit every Cellar Door in the country. Now that might seem a fairly straightforward thing to do &#8211; but a lot of them are seasonal operations only.

Too often you are standing at one side of a wooden counter, with the host on the other, and it isn\u2019t necessarily the most comfortable arrangement for the visitor who may know next to nothing about the region, the winery &#8211; or indeed wine, at all. New Zealand Cellar Doors do seem to be going through a change in style though &#8211; increasingly moving away from the counter approach, to a more relaxed style. In places like <b>Wet Jacket<\/b> in Central Otago, or <b>The Hunting Lodge<\/b> in West Auckland, the visit can be a destination &#8211; with food trucks, beanbags, and a range of options including beers or deli food on offer.<\/p><p>One of the most important aspects of the Cellar door are the people. If you\u2019re in luck you\u2019ll be met by a Cellar Door host who just elevates the visit to a whole new level. Also, the host might be the person who actually made the wine, or a member of the family that owns the vineyard. The stories that these people can pass on are absolute gems. There\u2019s nothing wrong with someone who works in the place and that\u2019s their job &#8211; they can be super-efficient and knowledgable about the product and place. We had a student serve us at <b>Luna Estate<\/b> in Martinborough who was studying at the Uni in Wellington, and working at Luna as a summer job. They were bright, bubbly and knew their stuff &#8211; even being comfortable enough to state their favourite wines and why. A couple more memorable visits to Tasting Rooms that spring to mind were <b>Askerne<\/b> in Havelock North, and <b>Black Estate<\/b> in Waipara &#8211; just with that extra X-factor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f76b24e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f76b24e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4a9f896\" data-id=\"4a9f896\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a6c4a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a6c4a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is no big secret that a Winery with a restaurant are often some of the best eating places in the country! <b>Amisfield<\/b> at Lake Hayes just can\u2019t stop winning awards, for example.

Let\u2019s face it, a vineyard is usually a lovely place to be, and New Zealand isn\u2019t exactly bereft of scenery is it? Put those together and you\u2019ve got jaw-droppingly photogenic spots. <b>Rippon<\/b> in Wanaka is the poster boy of this genre; but <b>Dancing Petrel<\/b> in Northland, and <b>Mission Estate<\/b> in Hawke\u2019s Bay are right up there with the best.<\/p><p>I can\u2019t claim to be even halfway through the complete list of Cellar doors, but I have been to hundreds in the last few years. New places are constantly popping up. I was at <b>Alexia<\/b> in Greytown on their opening day, and just last month I dropped in to see Daniel Brennan at <b>Decibel<\/b> Central in the cool part of Hastings, Mat Kirby at <b>Helio<\/b> in Haumoana, and Rhys Evans at <b>Village Vineyards<\/b>.<\/p><p>Whether the Cellar Door is rustic in style, or a cathedral of wine like some of the bigger operations, I\u2019m totally convinced that time spent exploring these places is well worth any detour. Often it\u2019s the best thing you\u2019ll do any trip. And, if you buy wine, you\u2019re supporting their continued existence, and putting funds directly into the makers pockets.
