On the way to Blenheim, I saw a lot of grape racks. It is said that this is half of the city. The other half is full of wineries. I was thinking of choosing an elegant dinner and tasting wine by the way. The result... It was only seven o&#39;clock. The restaurant had not opened much. I accidentally hit and walked to these stores. I was attracted by the taste. - &quot;Such a fragrant must be delicious 😋&quot; 🔻 Snack platter has fried wonton (? Fried onions and normal chicken and green chicken are generally not worth ordering 🔻 Curry &amp; Vegetarian Cake friends randomly ordered a curry and I requisitioned it to match my cake 🫓 Very ‼️ Good ‼️ Eat ‼️ Vegetarian cakes are already great. They are tough and not very oily. Curry is full of aroma.🔻 Wine to Blenheim. How can you not drink wine?🍷 I chose a local wine. The soft and good entrance is delicious. The curry fragrance of the whole store overflows to the street. The vegetarian cake with curry is absolutely my friend. I can&#39;t forget that the waiters are also very nice. Thank you again for the recommendation of the guests at the next table hhh #wine village #one person said a good place to drop a fire in summer #literary and slow life in a rural town #check in the world YO

BRANCOTT ESTATE At that time, I should go to a winery on the way to kaikoura. It was a glass house on the top of the mountain. It was cool. The season I went to New Zealand was at the end of September. It was still cold at the time. If you have the opportunity to go in spring and autumn, I believe that the scenery at this winery is beautiful. The bottom is full of grape racks. With New Zealand&#39;s blue sky and white clouds recommendation index of five 300rmb per capita (not counting buying wine and eating) steak and fish taste super good people passing by must go!

The lower layer of coffee has a strong milk flavor and a lighter coffee flavor. Grapefruit cold brew soda, cold brew coffee in a small gourd bottle with grapefruit-flavored soda water, the concentration of coffee can be adjusted by yourself, and the soda water base is very refreshing
