New Zealand Boutique Wine Festival

A wonderful chance to experience the very best of New Zealand wine.
Offering vertical tastings from New Zealand's best boutique vineyards, more thsn 200 wines will be showcased throughout this festival. A vertical tasting is when you taste the same wine from a vineyard year on year, learning why each wine is so unique and how this came to be. For example: pinot noir from 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Held at Auckland's Imperial Lane, you'll be able to explore wines from different regions and enjoy fantastic food matches as well as live music. With a variety of dining and tasting options available this is a great chance to be part of an incredible unique cellar door experience.
