New Zealand is as far away as you can get, for most people. Just the journey there is an adventure. We sometimes call this tour a road trip. We think the best way to see as much of the country as possible is to take our comfortable bus from Auckland, the country’s largest city, to Queenstown in Central Otago on the South Island.
We pass several famous wine regions on the way, including the capital Wellington, geysers, and other geothermal wonders, as well as the country’s highest mountain, Mount Cook, which is part of the Southern Alps. We visit around 18 wineries, small and large, famous and not so well-known.
Sauvignon blanc and pinot noir are the main grape varieties in the country, but there will be many other things on the program, especially when we are on the warmer North Island. We will learn more about Maori culture during one evening, including their dances and the well-known Haka (made famous by The All Blacks, New Zealand’s rugby team). We will eat delicious seafood and the local salmon. And of course, lamb too, there are plenty of them.
