Queenstown’s renowned No5 Church Lane is pioneering a local focus on exclusively South Island vintages. “We believe this is the first non-winery-based restaurant in New Zealand to offer a list exclusively drawn up from its local wine region, sitting alongside the selection of French Champagne, and we’re proud to fly the local flag,” says sommelier Anna Krykunivsky

The carefully curated wine list includes Felton Road, Prophet’s Rock, Rippon and Domaine Thomson and well-known Kiwi actor Sam Neill’s Two Paddocks Pinot Noir.
