But, the winter season in New Zealand is not just about skiing in the Southern Alps or snowboarding in Queenstown. 

There’s much to see and do!

One of the local’s most anticipated events of the year, the Dunedin Cadbury Chocolate Carnival is held from July 20 to 26.  Taste the best of Cadburry chocolates! There will be chocolate decorating events, chocolate tours, chocolate facials and chocolate painting.

Are you up for wine tasting?  Soljan Estate Winery, one of the oldest wine makers in New Zealand, is also having its big annual event which starts on July 5 and ends on July 21.
