North Canterbury Wine

Next month a clutch of North Canterbury’s best wine growers will be amalgamating to showcase their wines, all hand grown and crafted in North Canterbury.

The producers are all family owned and nearly all very small so this is a good chance to try a select group of North Canterbury wines that are not always available.

The winemakers and owners will be at the Northern Club pouring their current release wines from 5pm - 8pm on 12 November.

It is a great opportunity to meet the people behind the wine.

They will also be producing an exclusive “9 pack” for sale on the night featuring nine wines - one from each producer.

Only 24 cases are available on the night featuring wines from Bell Hill, Bellbird Spring, Greystone, Black Estate, Mountford Estate, Muddy Water, Pegasus Bay, Tongue in Groove and Pyramid Valley.
