New Zealand, a wine adventure far, far away | wine tour

Travelling far away is always an adventure. And further away than New Zealand is hard to get. So, that is why our trip to New Zealand is something of an adventure. With a big focus on wine.

But we will also see a lot of the country. Our tour is not only an adventure but also a road trip. Travelling with bus – and the occasional ferry boat – is the best way to travel in New Zealand. The tour starts in Auckland, the country’s largest city, and we then travel all the way to Queenstown on the South Island. During the tour we visit wine regions such as Wairarapa, Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough, and Central Otago. You will taste a lot of wines but there will also be time for relaxation, sightseeing, natural phenomena, and charming towns.

New Zealand’s nature is unique and sometimes spectacular – Rotorua’s geysers and hot springs, the high mountains of Central Otago and the incredibly blue waters of Lake Tekapo. In Kaikōura, a town famous for its seafood, we will taste local delicacies, New Zealand lobster. We also make a short visit to the beautiful capital Wellington and stay three nights in the lively city of Queenstown, actually called the adventure capital of New Zealand. A fitting finish for an adventure wine tour.
