Wellington and Southern North Island
The southern North Island incorporates the areas and regions of Wanganui, Manawatu, Wairarapa and the capital city of Wellington. The Wairarapa region, especially Martinborough, is fast gaining a reputation for premium wines, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc varieties. Wellington, New Zealand's capital, has the most vibrant entertainment district in the country, where you can find some of the best bars, cafes, restaurants and theatres. Don't miss Te Papa - Museum of New Zealand, where the stories of the nation are revealed in interactive displays.
