Seven Queenstown restaurants are joining 20 others nationwide in the annual Pinot and Duck Tasting trail.
Each year Marlborough winery Cloudy Bay challenges restaurants and chefs around the country to create amazing duck dishes to match its pinot noir.
''We are excited to have a great selection of New Zealand's top restaurants involved in our global event,'' Cloudy Bay senior brand manager Rai Banbury said.
In Queenstown Pier 19, Gantleys, Wakatipu Grill Hilton, No5 Church Lane, Botswana Butchery, Blue Kanu and Rata are taking part.
Top chefs from around the world including Aspen, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne will also take part in the trail.
The restaurants' take on matching duck with pinot will be available during July at each restaurant with a glass of Cloudy Bay pinot noir for a set price.
