Corporate

If your company is looking for a corporate outing for your team or perhaps  a tour or event to entertain clients then contact us to see what small and large group options are available. New Zealand Wine Promotions have been organising corporate wine tours & events for the last 8 years

Tour Director John McFarlane has worked in hospitality and tourism for 27 years, with over a decade in the wine industry. After working for the highly respected Glengarry wine company and graduating from its training academy, John went on to become a winery promotions manager before establishing New Zealand Wine Promotions Ltd in Auckland in 2002. His first client was Alingi, the 2003 Swiss Syndicate Americas Cup Winner, but John doesn’t believe wine should only be enjoyed and understood by the elite. New Zealand wineries have so much to offer both the oenophile or the newcomer to the wonderful world of wine
