Our tour to New Zealand is a wine tour. However, it is also easy to be fascinated by everything around us, including both nature and culture. In Marlborough, we visit a family who are wine growers but also raise sheep, which means we get to learn a great deal about this vital industry for New Zealand. We get to know the amazing dogs that keep track of all the sheep.
In Rotorua, we experience nature’s own power – here sulphurous geysers shoot out of the ground, and bubbling mud pools create a fascinating landscape.
We also have the opportunity to visit a Maori family, where we are invited to dinner and learn more about their rich culture and traditions. This experience provides insight into New Zealand’s history and present.
We start our tour in Auckland, a lovely city on the North Island. If you like boats, you will like Auckland. It feels as if every resident has at least two! Our bus then takes us south, and on our journey down to Queenstown, we visit the country’s most prominent wine regions, Hawkes Bay (with Napier – one of the world’s most extraordinary Art Deco cities), Wairarapa, Marlborough and Central Otago, the world’s southernmost wine region and one of the most renowned areas for pinot noir.
We have time to take a short walk in the beautiful and dynamic capital of Wellington before boarding the ferry that takes us to the South Island. We spend the night in Christchurch on the way to Mount Cook and the stunning Southern Alps, where we take a boat trip on a glacial lake.
We savour the country’s delicious seafood, lamb, and much more. Our wine tour of New Zealand is a journey of discovery, where wine, food, nature, and culture are woven together into a whole. A tour for the curious wine adventurer and explorer.
