What’s On: Winetopia, Auckland

Winetopia presented by Singapore Airlines
20-21 May, 2016
Shed 10, Queens Wharf

With 673 wineries spread the breadth of the country, in just a few decades New Zealand wine has changed our landscape, our reputation and our palates. Now just after this year’s grape harvest winemakers will be heading to Auckland for a new national wine celebration from 20 – 21 May and you are invited.

Wineopia presented by Singapore Airlines takes place at Shed 10 on Queens Wharf and will boast some of the best award-wining wineries from every region of the country. Get ready to meet Bob Campbell MW, one of only 322 people in the world to hold the Master of Wine qualification and Nick Stock the Australian travel-holic wine guru.

Other speakers include our very own Michael McHugh (Editor-in-chief of MiNDFOOD), Meg Abbott-Walker (MASU), Michael Dearth (The Grove & Baduzzi) and Ganesh Raj (The Tasting Shed). Our ‘Share a Glass’ with wine-loving personalities include Brendhan Lovegrove, Verity Johnson, Melodie Robinson, Shane Cortese and Russell Brown. Enjoy complimentary wine in each talk, some paired with food offerings. Hopetoun Brown will be playing a set in the finale of each session.

Delectable food matches will be available from award winning artisans and as the name suggests – Winetopia will be heaven for anyone with a love of wine.
