The vineyards at the majestic Lake Wanaka in New Zealand are in no way inferior to the best growing areas in Europe. On the contrary: one of the best wines in the country is produced here. The vines were brought by Catholic missionaries in the 17th century, and it took a long time for viticulture to become established. It was not until the 1970s that New Zealand winemakers began to produce wines that have long since been appreciated internationally.

September is the month of the grape harvest and ideally suited for tasting the local wines. This can be done conventionally in the bodegas, but also in a completely different way during a trip on the "Wine Express", a wooden train on wheels that takes visitors to the vineyard for a tasting.
