Got away from campsite asap. Visited Villa Maria (well you have too). Arrived at B&B for the night called Antares http://www.selections.co.nz/ on Jeffries Rd.(NZD150 incl bike hire and a short stagger from the Restaurant) http://www.herzog.co.nz/ -booked way in advance-people fly from Auckland to eat here.
Vineyards by bike: Clifford Bay (nice but overall disappointing), Te Whare Ra (magic Guwurtztraminer-oldest vineyard est.1979), Cloudy Bay (obvious reasons), Allan Scott (best one so far).
Dinner at Herzog is a major financial undertaking but well worth it. At NZD200 per person all that time in campsites paid off. That does include wine matching and a 5-course degustation menu and fantastic sunsets over the vines.
