New Zealand 
​​(9 days) February 15-23, 2024
​
Dramatic natural beauty everywhere - that's New Zealand. We start in the world's adventure capital, Queenstown, where we'll boat, fly, and drive to see the peaks of Milford Sound, the Remarkables mountains, the Dart River and more. We'll visit top wineries in Central Otago and Marlborough before flying to the North Island to enjoy the fabulous red wines of Hawkes Bay and then spend time with the native Maori people in their volcanic traditional homeland at Rotorua. We finish in sophisticated Auckland and the beautiful nearby wine island of Waiheke. 


This memorable 9-day journey to New Zealand is led by wine educator Charles Bennett, who has guided this trip and many like it over the past decade in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Chile, Argentina and Australia.
