Foodies take note, this is the next big destination in New Zealand

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

Hi neighbours. If you haven’t heard of Ayrburn, take note – that’s about to change. Developer Chris Meehan is indulging his long-held passion for design on a 60-hectare farm near Arrowtown.

The Ayrburn project – somewhat of an eminently stylish playground for devotees of good food and wine – is taking shape on a 160-year-old estate, with five venues opening officially on December 9, and more to follow in 2024.

Read the full story here and tell us what your favourite foodie venue is and why in the comments below.
