Guests can also come just to experience the local culture. The Canterbury region, especially the Waipara Valley, is known for its superb wines, so wine aficionados will want to schedule a tasting at one of the many nearby vineyards, such as the Waipara vineyards and Marble Point Winery in Hanmer Springs, to try the unique Pinot Noirs and Rieslings. This area is also known for its skiing during the winter months with various resorts in the area, like the Mount Lyford and Hanmer Springs Ski Areas.
