Winetopia dates announced
Winetopia is now in its seventh year and the two day event is packed with fun, food, music and talks as well as informal wine tastings, masterclasses and live music.
The events include regular 15 minute sessions of wine options, an informal guessing game on a mini scale, designed to allow wine lovers of all levels to have a shot at checking how well their knowledge stacks up in recognising aromas and flavours in well known wine styles.
There will be approximately 250 wines at each event and they will include everything from Albarino, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay to Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, including many others.
The events are designed to show the fun side of wine as well as provide education for those keen to learn more, says Winetopia founder Rob Eliott.
PS: I will host informal 15 minute wine options, structured informative masterclasses and stage talks at Winetopia in Auckland and Wellington.
Vaccine passes mandatory
A valid My Vaccine Pass is required to attend all Winetopia events. The organisers are confident the events will run on the scheduled dates, but if postponements due to covid are necessary, tickets will be transferred or refunded.
