18 DuNEDIN southern holiday destinations spring-summer 2020 emerSon’ S BreWery oLveSton HiStoriC Home Over the past 25 years we have been searching for the elusive Holy Ale, now Emerson’s has a new spiritual home to pursue our quest.” Emerson’s is all about sharing and having fun, so get a group together or join one of their 60 minute guided tours through our brand new Brewery and Taproom. The tour will take you through a little bit of the history of how Emerson’s has been a pioneering force in the development of craft brewing in New Zealand. You will then be taken into the brewery, learning about all the aspects of the Emerson’s Brewing process, from milling the malt to packaging the finished product. There will be a chance to get your hands a little dirty in the Emerson’s Workshop, our 1200L Pilot Brewery incorporated into the middle of our Taproom. The tour finishes with a delightful sensory experience sampling six of our most famous beers. If you can’t bear to tear yourself away, stay on, sit down and enjoy a fantastic meal in an atmosphere that won’t be easily forgotten. Before you leave there is an opportunity to purchase an Emerson’s brew from one of 12 taps located in our cellar door and take a little bit of Emerson’s with you. Emerson’s Brewery and Taproom is located at 70 Anzac Ave, Dunedin or visit www.emersons.co.nz BrEWErY TOUr A ‘must visit’ for lovers of arts and culture; Olveston offers a unique glimpse into the extraordinary lives of one of Dunedin prominent Edwardian families. Olveston was the home of businessman, collector and philanthropist David Theomin. Designed by the English architect, Sir Ernest George, Olveston was built with every modern convenience including central heating, a gas generator for electricity, a shower in each bathroom and heated towel rails, an internal telephone system and service lift. The house was also lavishly furnished with exotic artefacts, prized artworks, antiques, carpets, ceramics, statues and weaponry purchased from around the world. Olveston was inherited by the Theomin’s daughter Dorothy in 1933. Continuing the family tradition of philanthropy, Dorothy supported many of the artistic and community causes championed by her parents including Dunedin Public Art Gallery and the Plunket Society. Following Dorothy’s death in 1966, it was discovered that Olveston, complete with the original contents, was gifted to the people of Dunedin. Guided tours reveal the extraordinary lives of the Theomin family and allow a glimpse of Dunedin’s rich business, artistic and social history from the mid-1800s until the 1960s. Set within a 1-acre ‘Garden of National Significance’, at 42 Royal Terrace, Olveston is within walking distance from the Octagon. Olveston is a time capsule, as little has changed inside the house since it was occupied as a family home. A feast for the eyes, a tour of Olveston is for those who appreciate (or aspire to) the finer things in life. Visiting Olveston is by guided tour only. Tours commence daily at 9.30am, 10.45am, 12noon, 1.30pm, 2.45pm and 4pm.
