Sheep: There are so many sheep in New Zealand. There are 45 million sheep. The herd of sheep is on the road, so you have a lot of chances to see them. In addition, there are shows of sheep.

Wine Festival's Speech

I’ll introduce about the events. The admission fee is 3800 yen. I think it’s a little expensive, but the events are wonderful! You can eat as much as you like, and drink as much as you want. For example, you can drink Tokachi wine. You can pour wine from wood. If you can’t drink alcohol, there is also grape juice. Also, there are beef sausages, hamburger, vegetables, sermon, and so on, so you can eat many delicious foods. Moreover, I recommend you to eat barbecue of beef. You have to get it at once, because it’s very popular, so it will be eaten for 3 hours. In addition, there are some interesting events. For example, contest of drinking wine and guessing it. And other contest is wine brewing. Only women can join the contest. Women who wear shoes which are made from woods press juice from grapes. The person who presses it the most will become winner. Like this there are some events, so I think you can enjoy the festival.
