If we had only had one day to spend in New Zealand, we couldn’t have planned it better than the one we experienced at Daryl’s vineyard.
When we arrived, we were greeted by his friendly terrier Coco Chanel and marvelled at the beautiful house and grounds. Daryl instantly made us feel welcome, like the favourite New Zealand uncle everyone ought to have, and showed us to a big room with a very comfortable bed. We saw the garden and vineyard while talking about the grapes and winemaking.
We also got to see a colorful sunset while our host rounded up sheep for next day’s shearing session, and ended the evening with wine, more chat about wine, traveling and when Daryl won a sheep shearing contest in Scotland. As if that weren’t enough, my girlfriend got to try her hand at sheep shearing the next day.
Thank you for the best stay – we look forward to seeing you in Denmark, Daryl :-)
