Established in 2014 by Christina Perriam, Perriam is a merino knitwear brand that draws inspiration from her upbringing at Bendigo Station, a merino sheep station located just a stone's throw away from Tarras.

In our village store you'll discover an exquisite assortment of locally sourced products and New Zealand-made goods. Don't miss out on our delectable real fruit ice creams and the irresistible local fudge – they're absolute must-tries!

Bendigo Wines is a celebration of the vineyards adorning the landscape of Bendigo Station and its surroundings. Visit us to savor wine tasting and immerse yourself in the flavors of Central Otago.

Dedicated proprietors Antonia and Paul infuse their food and coffee selections with genuine passion and care. A visit to Tarras wouldn't be complete without experiencing the welcoming ambiance and delightful cuisine of their homely cafe.

The Merino Shop came to life through the vision of Heather and John Perriam, who, in 1984, sought to introduce tourists passing through Bendigo Station to the wonders of merino wool products. Today, The Merino Shop proudly offers a delightful array of merino wool treasures.

Tarras is home to the legendary Shrek the Sheep — the Merino wether who captured hearts around the world after hiding in the hills for six years and emerging with an enormous fleece. Visit the Shrek the Sheep monument and celebrate a true New Zealand icon who put Tarras on the map.
