GUIDED WINERY & UNDERGROUND CELLAR TOURS When visiting the Kaikoura Winery, one shouldn't miss the opportunity at this "picture book" winery to take a tour through the facilities. The tour starts at the establishing library vineyard, then follows the wine making process through the winery and into the underground cellar. There the wine barrels and the Kaikoura Methode Champenoise are stored in the constant 12°C cellar. The first tasting is enjoyed here. When this has been completed the visitor retraces their steps back into the light, where overlooking the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, a celebratory glass or two of wine is partaken of. Tours are at 11am and 2pm daily  (June - August)  and 11am, 2pm and 4pm (September - May) . Allow at least 3/4's of an hour. Current cost per person is NZ$15.
