About This Webinar

Savour an unforgettable journey along the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail, a 380km (240 mile) route through Hawke’s Bay, Wairarapa, Wellington and Marlborough.

This scenic self drive route takes you through stunning regions accounting for more than 80% of New Zealand’s wine production. Follow the grape signs and enjoy breathtaking scenery, beautiful forest parks, buzzing nightlife, and indulgent food experiences.

A Great Wine Capital of the world, Hawke’s Bay is renowned for its crisp Chardonnay and elegant Syrah. In nearby Wairarapa, European-style Pinot Noir gets star billing. Wellington is the place to go for coffee, cocktails and craft beer, and further south, Marlborough is famous for its blockbuster Sauvignon Blanc.

The Classic New Zealand Wine Trail offers more than just exceptional wine and food. It offers a variety of experiences, including wildlife encounters, hikes through native forest, and visits to historic villages and artists’ studios. You can also tour local breweries, meet artisan food producers, enjoy live theatre, and embark on outdoor adventures like cycling and fishing trips.
