Located on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, Craggy Range was named the world’s most Instagrammable vineyard in 2021, making it the perfect backdrop for ex-PM Ardern’s wedding to partner Clarke Gayford. The winery sits between the Te Mata Peak and the Tukituki River, in the Gimblett Gravels winegrowing district. Founded in 1993 by husband and wife Terry and Mary Peabody, Craggy Range has a 1,000 year trust, meaning the winery can never be sold. Images of Ardern and Gayford among the vines have circulated local and international press.   View this post on Instagram
