Driving to work at sunrise, watching the moon rise as the shift is finishing up. Long days are the harvest life. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nI3-zn73p/?igshid=17kuzi3wil16i

We made eggs benny for some of our Argentinian friends, then had some lovely oysters at @cloudybay. We popped into @hans_herzogwine ,where they produce a large variety of Italian Varietals. Lunch at @giesenwines was a treat. They had the best tasting room staff!! @spyvalleywines was a beautiful way to finish the day and even got a tour of their facilities. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwwIXaMnUzB/?igshid=m5m1u1pgtaa1

Last weekend with all the VMW crew and we made a day trip up into the Marlborough Sounds to hike up to Mt Stokes!!! 1200 meters above sea level. When there was a break into the clouds it was quite beautiful!! (at Mt Stokes) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bws9YjoHZdl/?igshid=1u48q5brvoqip

It’s been super cold the past few weeks, but harvest is winding down.

Some sights from the last few days. Alex rocking the banana rain suit like a champ. It’s been less than 10* C (50*F) at night with rain and wind. She does pushups and squats to stay warm while receiving nonstop trucks carrying 10-15 tons each for 12 hours. I got to dig out one our small tanks via the ol bucket method. We got in some botrytis Riesling. YUMM!!! I’ve developed an obsession for golden kiwis and feijoas ( think flavor of raspberry crossed with pineapple almost) Friday breakfasts at @marlboroughpublichouse are amazing. They seriously have the best eggs benny. Winding down with harvest now. It’s been tough working night shift 7pm - 7 am but an amazing experience. Only 4 more weeks then who knows our next adventure. Trying to sort that out. #elviaje #wine #harvest #experiencenewzealand #rainsuit #harvest19 #kiwi #goldenkiwi (at Blenheim, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv8VltMHliR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p640o8skkqvn

First tank draining of Pinot Noir. Only 887 more ‘metric’ tons to go... and 10 tons of machine harvested Sauv Blanc. When you’re working from 7 pm - 7 am and your fiancée makes the best damn bfast sandwiches ❤️ 😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQi2LnHePr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xbj7sk7x8w90

Lil late night glow worm 🐛 trek with a gorgeous Lil waterfall. I wish I had a better camera to capture the glowworms. Anyone got a free camera they need to get rid of? #elviaje #experiencenewzealand #visitnewzealand #explorenewzealand #hikingnewzealand #havelock #waterfalls #glowworms #hiking #dayoff (at Havelock, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu8rzvknWzM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gvdmmko5mibf

We were lucky enough to check out my buddies vineyard yesterday and taste some delicious Sauv Blanc. In 50+ hectares, the variations in soil, canopy, and berry flavors were remarkable. While in NZ, Hafta represent one of our favorite wineries from back home in Walla Walla @elcorazonwinery. #elcorazon #swordfight #sauvignonblanc #sauvblanc #nzsb #experiencenewzealand #visitnewzealand #explorenewzealand #hikingnewzealand #marlborough #elviaje #vineyard #grapes (at Wairau Valley, Marlborough, NZ) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuqAVMuHar6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tv2s7u9wl36s

A few more shots from our visit to the Botanic Gardens. Some of the birds chilling there, some more nice plants, and a super weird part of some art. #elviaje #elviajedevino #travelingwinemaker #birdsofinstagram #duckduckgoose #seagull #art #wanderlust #botanicgarden #weekendstroll (at Christchurch Botanic Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuQHKQ7nibN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7e099ux0q0pw

We paid a visit to the Botanic Gardens in Christchurch. This is only a small selection of the incredible flowers and plants we saw. Can't believe it's free to go! It was such a serene way to spend a Saturday afternoon. #elviaje #elviajedevino #wanderlust #flowers #garden #visitnewzealand #discovernewzealand #busybee #bees #botanicgarden #dahlia #rose #christchurch #travelingwinemaker #saturday #nofilter (at Christchurch Botanic Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuQGEa1n6Qt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k5g5yx7h8h19
