Despite its small size, New Zealand has made a significant mark on the wine world. The country has almost as much acreage of sauvignon blanc as France, and it is mainly in Marlborough that this grape thrives. Wines with freshness and hints of tropical fruit are produced here, and sometimes with impressive complexity.
It was precisely sauvignon blanc that made New Zealand a wine country to be reckoned with. Until the 1990s, wine production was very small. And the big grape was, surprise surprise, the German müller-thurgau. Today, it is almost gone, and sauvignon blanc, pinot noir, riesling, cabernet sauvignon, syrah and more have taken its place.
Join us on an unforgettable tour in March and discover the country’s diversity of wine regions and grape varieties.
In Central Otago on the South Island, pinot noir has found its perfect place, with wines that can compete with the best from Burgundy. In Hawke’s Bay, you’ll discover flavourful syrah and generous chardonnay, while Martinborough also excels with its elegant pinot noir.
On Waiheke Island, just a short boat ride from Auckland, you’ll find powerful cabernet sauvignon. During the trip, we will experience both islands and enjoy the magnificent scenery that makes New Zealand so special. It is a journey filled with discovery, taste sensations, and natural beauty.
