New Zealand is an unusual New World country. It is cooler, which gives aromatic white wines and fine acidity in the reds. Their sauvignon blanc wines took the wine world by storm in the 1980s and changed our view of the grape.
A lot has happened since then. We will notice this on our incredible tour to a very different wine country.
The wine is the centrepiece of the tour, as always, but you will see much of the country: the magnificent landscape, geysers, glaciers and much more. We will visit the big cities of Auckland and Wellington.
We will discover that New Zealand offers much more than sauvignon blanc. We will taste syrah in Hawke’s Bay, pinot noir in Central Otago, riesling in Wairarapa and cabernet sauvignon on the picturesque Waiheke Island.
The tour to New Zealand is a great adventure.
