We will be travelling the length and breadth of the country throughout
2008/09 and hope that you are able to join us in sampling fine wines from New Zealand at one or more of our tastings during the year.
This year we have added some new tastings to our calendar. We will be visiting Liverpool and Manchester and look forward to meeting many Northern-based New Zealand wine enthusiasts there. We will also be building on the success of our very popular tastings in London, Dublin and Edinburgh.
Our London-based trade and consumer tasting, held at Lords Cricket Ground, was the most comprehensive tasting of New Zealand wine in Europe. Held in January, visitors had the opportunity to sample over 500 stunning Kiwi wines from over 100 award winning producers.

We will also have stands at The London Wine Show in October, The London International Wine and Spirits Fair in May (trade only) and the Taste of London show at Regent’s Park next June.
New Zealand wine is best known for its Sauvignon Blanc, whose fresh, vibrant gooseberry fruit, jumps out at you from the glass. This unique wine style has earned international acclaim and is considered by many as the benchmark for this variety. However New Zealand is also home to a wide range of other varieties, ranging from its evocative aromatics, such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris, to its fast emerging reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Pinot Noir. In short, we have something for everyone.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about any of our events.
We hope to see you soon!
