Central Otago's most acclaimed winery restaurant, 20 minutes from Queenstown — set among the vines with a trust-the-chef menu and some of NZ's best pinot noir.
Why It Belongs on the List
Amisfield sits in the rolling hills of the Cromwell Basin, surrounded by its own pinot noir vines and with distant Queenstown views. The signature 'Trust the Chef' menu pairs seasonal dishes with Amisfield wines in a beautifully considered succession of courses. Widely regarded as the best winery dining experience in New Zealand and worth the short drive from Queenstown. Book well ahead.
