The Duchess took in the scenic mountains and warm sun as John Darby, 57, owner of Amisfield Vineyard, gave her and William a tour of the property.
"I think the Duchess was more interested in the gardening," Darby noted, "She seemed quite knowledgeable in the pruning aspect of the vines."
Just one day prior William sparked pregnancy rumors during a separate engagement as the couple continues their three-week Antipodean tour. The Duke and Duchess were speaking with Cynthia Read, who knitted a wool shawl for Prince George on behalf of the New Zealand government, when William raised baby speculation.
"You might have to make another one soon," William told Read after accepting the gift.
Like many, Read perceived William's comment as a potential hint at a second pregnancy, however, Middleton is not currently expecting.
"The way William said it was like he was dropping a hint, letting me in on a secret," Read told reporters.
The royal couple raised questions about a second pregnancy in October when they remodeled their four-story 20-room Kensington Palace apartment to include a second nursery in addition to the one made for baby George.
"Kate is not pregnant," a source told Us Weekly. "They want a bigger family in the future, but she's not pregnant right now."
The royal couple kicked off their Antipodean tour on April 7 and they are scheduled to fulfill a total of 48 engagements around Australia and New Zealand over a three week period. Baby George has already made several appearances and he will likely be seen again when they reach Australia.
