We’ve put ourselves in it. This inter-active video showcases individual winemakers on film talking with passion about their wine, whilst the audience samples flights of the wine on the desk in front of them, preceded by magnificent aerial coastal and country scenery from Auckland north, zooming in on the wine region then the winery involved. This is grand and stirring stuff! Two separate videos feature 6 red wines and 6 white wines and their respective winemakers, with wineries plucked from several northern wine regions including Cleveland, Oratia, Kumeu, Waiheke Island and Matakana. Hyperion’s excellent ‘06 “the Titan” Cabernet Sauvignon features in the red line-up.

The Aroma Room Before you attend the main event you can enter a specially set up room off the main entry point and sniff the rows of scented cones which convey the aroma components usually associated with wine - mostly good, a few with common faults. Quite a number of these are tried blind, so they really challenge your olfactory senses. If you are not sure and want to know the answer, one can just lift up a flap and find it underneath. Some cones are really easy but others aren’t so obvious.

Location Brilliantly positioned alongside the Auckland Fish Market at 22 Jellicoe Street, off Beaumont, (or Halsey) Street to suit, Freemans Bay, west of the Viaduct area in Auckland City. Car parking is available, proceed to courtyard area between auditorium and the Auckland Fish Market where you can afterwards purchase a wider range of Auckland wines and partake of them with delicious ultra fresh seafood tapas in relaxed indoor and out dining.
