update: cancellation of THe official annual Wine Nelson tasting event for 2021.
It is with heavy hearts that the Nelson Winegrowers Association has made the difficult decision to cancel the postponed 2021 Wine Nelson Tasting Event due to the continued uncertainty around COVID-19 and associated alert levels.
The event was due to originally take place on Tuesday 26th October, 2021 at Rutherford Hotel Nelson. The event was postponed in October and we have now decided to officially cancel the event and provide refunds to all ticket holders.
If you purchased tickets, please contact us for a refund.
We look forward to bringing you a restriction-free event as soon as we can and will update you via email and across our social media channels.
What to expect at the annual wine nelson tasting event
Discover and take home with you LOCAL WINE
Discover and take home with you the delights of distinctive pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, aromatics and an impressive mix of emerging varieties from our region’s award-winning boutique wineries. With over 100 wines available to taste from your local region accompanied by some delicious gourmet treats, the stage is set for this to be yet another fun occasion.
2021 is proving yet again to be a stunning vintage with recognition flooding in for our premium wines and wine producers.
Seifried’s sauvignon blanc has blown away every winery in Marlborough (and the rest of New Zealand), proving just how good Nelson-produced sauvignon blanc can be. And, vineyards are taking top places in the Bob Campbell Real Review Top Wineries 2021 list, including Neudorf in the coveted top 10.
