New Zealand, exotic and far away | wine tour

Share/like this post:

New Zealand is far away, a fact that renders it a certain exotic fascination. It is a narrow country, surrounded by water, which of course affects the climate. The winters are mild and the summers are warm but rarely hot. Autumn is long and beautiful. The west coast is rainy.

The vineyards, on the other hand, are on the east coast and sheltered from the rain. The landscape is special. You will get to see a lot of it during this tour. We will visit both the North Island and the South Island during our 16 days together. Auckland is the big city on the North Island.

This is where we start our tour and it does not end until we have made it all the way down to the bustling town of Queenstown on the South Island by bus and by boat.

In between we visit the wine regions of Waiheke Island, Hawke’s Bay and Wairarapa, which include Martinborough, on the North Island and Marlborough and Central Otago on the South Island.

We get to know the Maori culture; we look at glaciers and geysers. We feast on local crayfish and green mussels. We visit the fine capital Wellington. And not least, by taste a variety of wines during our various wine visits.

There are still a few places left on this exceptional wine tour to New Zealand in March.

Join us for a great wine, nature and culture experience on the New Zealand wine tour.
