A string of pearls of unforgettable experiences of wine, nature, culture, gastronomy and history | wine tour New Zealand

New Zealand is a place where the adventure begins at the moment of departure from home. When you go to a country on the other side of the globe, the journey there becomes part of the experience. Once you are there, every day offers new landscapes and new experiences.

We travel by comfortable bus from New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland, through the beautiful nature that the North Island offers. We stop in Rotorua and look at sulphur-spraying geysers and bubbling steaming mud pools. We are invited to dinner at the home of a Maori family who tells us about their culture and food.

We visit the wine districts Hawkes Bay and Wairarapa. The last stop on the North Island will be the capital Wellington, then it is time to take the ferry to the South Island.

After a few days in Marlborough, the district that made the country’s wines famous throughout the world, we go on to Christchurch, the impressive Southern Alps and then to the gem of Central Otago, Queenstown. Central Otago, the world’s southernmost wine region (!), is today one of the world’s most famous pinot noir regions.

The food experiences are an important part of the trip. We enjoy fresh seafood, New Zealand lobster, local salmon and of course lamb. New Zealand is famous for its fine lamb. Wine runs like a common thread throughout the trip but you will experience so much more. Nature, culture, food and wine merge into an adventure to remember.
