If you love wine, what you drink can determine where to go. Perth is known for Cabernet Sauvignon, Adelaide has some of the best Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. In New Zealand you can taste Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Syrah on both islands.
Timing
Some cities aren’t going to take a lot of time to explore. Auckland is a 2 day city; it is a gorgeous city and fairly quiet. Now if you travel to Queenstown you will want at least 4 nights there because of all the activities and sights. This also goes for Melbourne and Sydney as there is never enough time to experience all the food and sights to see.
