The Cardrona Valley
Food scene
The Cardrona Hotel is an iconic New Zealand landmark. First established in 1863 as part of the region's gold rush, the hotel still stands and now serves legendary après ski during the winter ski season (think mulled wine and deep fried pickles), and delicious restaurant fare all year round. You'll find a great selection of local wine and beers from the central Otago region, and local produce on the menu to boot.
