Stargazing at Pukaki Observatory and Wine Cellar

Join us for a unique dark sky experience in the Pukaki Observatory and Wine Cellar. This is a fun, informative and unique experience where you will explore the universe in a small group setting. Starting in the wine cellar, you will be treated to a glass of wine or tot of whisky from our curated collection whilst being introduced to the Dark Sky Reserve features. We then go to the observatory, which is equipped with a 9-inch reflector telescope, where you can look at faraway objects like Saturn.

We may need to cancel your stargazing experience in the event of bad weather (snow and/or ice, rain or extreme winds) or if stargazing conditions are compromised by cloud cover.
