Join us for "A Wine Tour through New Zealand". Breathtaking New Zealand is home to a wealth of distinct climates and wine styles. It has become a benchmark country for the production of premium quality sauvignon blanc and pinot noir but there is a great deal more to discover. Learn what Kiwis call “turangawaewae”, a place on which to stand, as we taste our way through five distinct wine regions focusing on sustainably produced wines.

Sommelier Sara d'Amato will tantalize your palate with selected tastings and artisan cheese pairings created specially for this event. Sara is a Toronto-based wine consultant, educator, sommelier, wine critic and principal partner with WineAlign.com.
