New Zealand, the wine country on the other side of the globe | wine tour

There is something very special about traveling to the other side of the globe. There is no need to change the clock, there is a twelve hour time difference from Europe. The journey to get there is long, but the longing and excitement before arriving make it short.

And once you’re there – “now I’m on the other side of the earth!” Unbelievable.

If you draw a line through the center of the earth from Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, you end up in southern Spain. Can’t get further away. It is even a shorter distance from Europe to the South Pole. New Zealand is farther away.

Once there, a world of experiences of nature, wine and gastronomy opens up that is different and much more magnificent than one could imagine. New Zealand has a dramatic landscape and a very young wine industry. You can almost count the 1980s as the beginning of quality wine.

But today they have come a long way. World-class wines, certainly from sauvignon blanc and pinot noir, but also much more. New Zealand is full of experiences and surprises.

Come with us to New Zealand for a wine adventure!

A great wine, nature and culture experience on the New Zealand wine tour.
