Join us this October for Trip to Sip, a curated wine tasting series celebrating the best of Northland’s vineyards. Every Friday from 5–8pm, settle in at The Duke of Marlborough’s historic waterfront bar and explore the flavours of our region’s finest wineries.
Each week, a featured Northland vineyard will be pouring a selection of their top wines — from crisp whites to bold reds — with winemakers on hand to share the stories behind each bottle.

Friday 10th October – Boulder Bay, Motorua
Friday 17th October – Omata Estate, Russell
