New Zealand is a special country in many ways. You are close to the sea almost everywhere, and this proximity influences most of the country’s wine regions.
We begin our tour in Auckland, the country’s largest city, although it is not the capital. Auckland is beautifully located by the sea on the North Island, and we take the opportunity to take a ferry out to Waiheke Island, known for its beauty and its top-quality vineyards. You will also experience the sea up close when we take the ferry between the North Island and the South Island.
It is a beautiful 3-hour trip from Wellington, the capital, across Cook’s Strait and through the exceptional Queen Charlotte Sound to Picton, which is half an hour from the country’s most famous wine region, Marlborough. If lucky (and equipped with good binoculars) one can see albatrosses and even dolphins.
But we will also experience the country’s highest mountain, Mount Cook (12,217 ft). And glacial lakes, geysers, Maori culture, seafood, delicious lamb dishes, and we will taste many, many wines from some of New Zealand’s top producers.
