A young wine country with great wines and much to discover | wine tour to New Zealand

Share/like this post:

This fantastic 2-week tour showcases New Zealand, from Auckland on the North Island down to Queenstown on the South Island.

An experience that includes a 3-hour boat trip between the two islands, natural phenomena such as geysers and bubbling mud pools, Maori culture, meetings with winemakers and many wine tastings in famous wine regions such as Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago.

We combine wine visits and tastings with delicious meals and fantastic nature experiences. It is noticeable that New Zealand is a relatively new wine country with a pioneering spirit and great joy of discovery.

It was not until 1973 that the first sauvignon blanc plants were planted in Marlborough.

These wines quickly became popular and still are, but we will also discover many other wines, such as cabernet sauvignon from Waiheke Island, syrah from Hawke’s Bay, pinot noir, riesling and pinot gris from Central Otago and Wairarapa.

Come with us to New Zealand for a wine adventure!
