Fiddlers Green Vineyard & Bistro – Waipara (North Canterbury)

Whether you’re just wishing to have a tasting, glass of wine or stay for lunch you’ll be welcomed at Fiddlers Green Vineyard.

On offer are Fiddlers Green Organic Wines and some local vineyards. While there, we enjoyed a wine tasting and a delicious lunch in the sun.

A little bit about the name:

Fiddler’s Green is in 19th-century maritime folklore describing a kind of hereafter for sailors, where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing, the wine never stops flowing and dancers never tire.

Fiddler’s Green lore states “a sailor can find this paradisiacal land by walking inland with an oar over his shoulder until he finds a place where people ask him what he’s carrying.” 
Fiddler’s Green is where the Rath family has found their heaven on earth to produce fine wines & dining for sailors and land lovers alike.
