Christchurch, New Zealand. History, Climate etc
Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and the seat of the Canterbury Region. Christchurch is known as the Garden City. Christchurch is mostly flat, so many people get around on bicycles. Christchurch is third-most populous city behind Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand.
LOCATION
The Christchurch urban area lies on the South Island's east coast, just north of Banks Peninsula. The Avon River flows through the centre of the city, with an urban park located along its banks. the river was named after the River Avon in Scotland by Deans brothers whose farm was the earliest European settlement in the area.
HISTORY
Archaeological evidence found in a cave at Redcliffs in 1876 has indicated that the Christchurch area was first settled by moa-hunting tribes about 1250 CE. Christchurch became a city by Royal Charter on 31 July 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand. The name of Christchurch was agreed on at the first meeting of the Canterbury Association on 27 March 1848. It was suggested by founder John Robert Godley, whose alma mater was Christ Church, Oxford.

Ep 223: North Canterbury, New Zealand's Hidden Gem with Simone Madden-Grey
Fresh off an amazing trip to the North Canterbury region, just north of Christchurch on the South Island of her homeland, New Zealand, Simone Madden-Grey let's us in on a little known region that we all need to try (and visit): North Canterbury.
Here are some quick notes from the show:
The Alps are to the west, the Pacific Ocean to the east. Cool, dry climate with high sunshine and a long growing season means pure, flavorful wines -- especially aromatic whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer since the climate is similar to Alsace. Pinot Noir is also stunning from here 3% of NZ production Wines are grown on the valley floor and vineyards (top ones) are being planted on the hillsides and foothills The stunning subregions of Waipara and Waitaki Valleys are the hot spots for quality wine in the region. Waipara Valley is 40 minutes north of Christchurch About 30 wineries in the valley We discuss the beautiful produce of the ares and how the food and wine are so fully integrated into the culture here, as it is no where else For a list of all the wineries, with links go here: Wineries and Vineyards of North Canterbury and Waipara And the list of wines Simone mentions -- Bell Hill Vineyard –
Bellbird Spring –
Black Estate –
Greystone Wines –
Pegasus Bay –
Pyramid Valley –
Tongue in Groove –
As a wrap up for Women's History Month, we talk about our experiences as women in wine.

WAIPARA HILLS, WAIPARA VALLEY, SOUTH ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND, CHARDONNAY
The fruit for this wine was sourced from Glasnevin vineyard in Waipara Valley, 'at the end of the earth, high in the mountainess region of New Zealand's south island grows the mountain buttercup, delicate and beautiful, it belies its harsh upbringing. Waipara Hills is part of the same wild landscape where vines have survived perilous winters to produce complex, elegant wines for you to enjoy.' This rich, mouth-filling wine displays tropical aromas of melon, apple and pineapple with a hint of butterscotch.

Christchurch Hotels - Distinction Christchurch
Book this hotel now:-
I personally review one of, what I think, are the best Christchurch hotels, The Distinction Christchurch New Zealand.
As a Tour guide, I stay in a lot of hotels around New Zealand.
The Distinction Christchurch is one of a New Zealand owned chain of hotels. This was the old Millenium hotel and has undergone a renovation and upgrade.
In this video I take a closer look at the Distinction Hotel, giving my opinions and views.
The rooms are very comfortable, the dining area is laid out not to feel like you are in a big dining hall. Likewise, the bar area has a number of smaller tables and is very well stocked with New Zealand beers and wines etc.
At the time of writing this review, I considered the hotel rates to be very good for the class of the hotel.
