Owned by the Lloyd family, Te Kano wines in Central Otago are a relatively new arrival to the region, but they are certainly making their mark with an exceptional range of wines all estate grown on their own vineyards.

There is an impressive cellar door on their Eliza Felton Road vineyard, along with another vineyard in Bannockburn and a substantial 40ha vineyard in Northburn overlooking Lake Dunstan, as well as 11ha in the Waitaki Valley where they also have their winery.

Whilst you may be familiar with the value packed Kin range, tonight winemaker Dave Sutton will delve further up the range with the Life Series and the premium Land Series wines – Blanc de Noir, Rose, Pinot Gris, Chardonnays (including the very impressive Waitaki 2022), Pinot Noirs and the rare Cabernet Franc and Gamay.

Tonight Richard will take us on an Italian roadie covering the North and Centre with a side trip to the South. Quite the adventure…
