I was delighted to have found Alan's gallery today. He welcomed me into his place and guided me though his amazing art. Art that is created with his whimsical style, and astonishingly all water colour (you wouldn't guess with some of it). I adored meeting this wonderful soul and hope one day to purchase a piece of his art. It is the type of art that you look at with such fondness and awe.

This quaint jewellery shop in Old Cromwell precinct is a treasure trove of stunning works of art. Cleverly displayed floral wire works, fine handmade earrings and necklaces, recycled fine china, and Marie’s quirky handmade cards and glass ‘stories’ will easily encourage you to reach for your wallet.

5. Remarkable Wines

We made a somewhat impromptu visit to Remarkable wines after some recommendations and a quick phone call to Richard who generously made himself available to guide us through his list of ~ half a dozen of his beautiful, boutique wines. The majority of the grapes were sourced from the vines over which we were looking as we tasted, with a few from a vineyard Richard owns in the nearby Gibston Valley. Richard was extremely knowledgable and accommodating, giving passionate, rank-newbies like ourselves an easily digestive but very interesting walk through on how the wines were made, how to correctly tastes the wines and the factors going into these characteristics. Having visited many of the wineries around central otago, this was without a doubt one of our most enjoyed experiences, with incredible great value, award winning, wines and is definitely a must do for the bannockburn area. Thanks again, Richad.

This gallery is a collective of local artists and is one of the most attractive spaces I've seen. There was an artist on duty to tell me about the art and also the history of the town.
