Tickets to the 10th annual Winetopia Auckland event has just gone on sale, representing a decade of bringing the best of the New Zealand Wine scene to the city.
Established in 2016, the event aims to make wine fun and approachable. Winetopia Founder and Event Director Rob Eliott says, “We wanted to take the serious wines usually found in more exclusive trade tastings and put them into an environment which was fun and uplifting.” With plenty of talks and tastings throughout the event attendees often find themselves learning more than what they had bargained for. “We like to find ways to entertain people, but make sure they have deepened their wine knowledge by the end”.
More than 80,000 attendees have been through Winetopia events which have also taken place in Wellington and Christchurch.
This year Winetopia takes place at the Viaduct Events Centre on 3 and 4 October and incorporates:
Over premium 50 wineries from all over New Zealand, serving all varietals and more than 250 wines open for tasting.
An opportunity to taste $100+ bottles of wine, all of which have scored 96+points in a credible review or competition.
Restaurants and artisans offering their delicious dishes at the event to complement the wines.
A full line-up of talks, tastings and entertainment on the Main Stage hosted by TV Presenter and Comedian Ben Hurley.
A major pool of giveaways throughout the promotional campaign to celebrate the ten-year anniversary.
