Wine Run Saturday 17th January 2026 What you’ve always dreamed of a Wine Run, that’s right, Exercise, Fancy Dress and Wine followed by a Party, with Live Entertainment. Put Saturday 17th January 2026 in your diary now and get ready to have the time of your life. Starting with a run or walk, within the Rossendale Wines Vineyard at 100 Old Tai Tapu Road - 7 minutes south of Christchurch. We're making the run/walk that bit more enjoyable for you with a wine tasting approximately every kilometre, some kilometres may vary a bit as these are Wine Kilometres. 2026 Wine Run will be 5km minimum, with potential of offering a 10km as well, depending on our Liquor Licence. There will be Cheese and Crackers at every tasting station along with a wine tasting, plus plenty of water and electrolytes for you to keep you well hydrated. When you finish there will be a memorabilia Wine Run glass and Wine Run Coin waiting for you and you can redeem your favourite wine from the bar with your Wine Run Coin. Then food and live entertainment to enjoy throughout the evening. Plus, to get you home safely, you can purchase a bus ticket and catch the pre-arranged buses to and from Rossendale Wines from all over Canterbury. "Check out the bus locations" Or else you can arrange your own transport. Plenty of car parking available. "We recommend a sober driver if if bringing a vehicle". You can see why this is the Best Run Ever!
