Sauvignon blanc, pinot noir, geysers, glaciers, and other experiences in New Zealand | wine tour

It is hard to imagine that as recently as the 1970s, the German müller-thurgau grape dominated New Zealand vineyards. Not long after that, sauvignon blanc made its entrance and the rest, as they say, is history.

Today, this aromatic and elegant grape dominates New Zealand and has become a new home for the French grape. But as you will notice, there is much more than sauvignon blanc (which, by the way, is also made in many different styles), pinot noir not least, but also fantastic syrah, merlot, pinot gris, riesling, cabernet sauvignon, etc.

Our roughly two-weeks tour takes us from Auckland on the North Island to Queenstown on the South Island. Our comfortable bus will take us all the way, a fantastic opportunity to see and enjoy as much of the country as possible. We will visit around 18 wineries, but we will also have time for sightseeing.

There will be geysers, glaciers, quaint villages, Māori culture and more. Come on an unforgettable journey of discovery in New Zealand.

Come with us to New Zealand for a wine adventure!
