Our Spring Tour is always popular. It’s a great ime for a vinous getaway – winter is well and truly on the run, Christmas insanity has yet to take hold. And it’s a season when New Zealand’s most photographed wine region looks amazing. The vines are well past budburst, everything looks new and polished.
The tour is a three-and-a-half day exploration of ‘Grand Cru’ Central Otago. We visit the region’s top wine estates and are received by some of the best winemakers in the country, men and women who are close to the land, inspirationally so, and will introduce us to their pinots, their chardonnays, their mahi. Listening, tasting, asking, learning. The winery visits will be balanced by leisure time in a setting that is, well, more than a little special. Where there is great wine, there must also be great food. The table will be our connector, a place of sensory enjoyment and laughter.
