Your interactive experience begins in the Aroma room. Here all the aroma components of wine are uncovered giving an understanding of the significance that the sense of smell has in the language and appreciation of wine.

The flight path takes you to six wineries where you will join the winemaker in a tasting of their wine while they explain a little about the wines aroma and palate.

The big picture wine tasting experience was a really fun activity, the aroma room was great and really put into perspective how important and neglected our sense of smell is. The video presentation was informative and the wines tasted were so different which really nice. I highly recommend it.
We had a great time to analyse the many flavours in the aroma room. There are about 60 different fragrances in snake bottles. Than the movie from the wine farmers and the good wines to taste. A must for wine fans and this for a very good price
We went in a group of 8 - definitely the more the merrier. Some might consider it a bit cheesy, but if you are looking for something different do it, then stop off for dinner. Enjoyed the run down in the Aroma room and experiencing the different smells. We then went into the theatre for our wine tasting.
Very educational and enjoyable experience. Our host Rebecca was great and presented the information in very engaging and interesting way. Well worth a visit.

Wine tasting experience
The wine tasting experience was excellent. The only disappointing thing was that BookMe hadn't notified them that we were coming. However the team quickly assembled a tasting course together and we had a great afternoon sampling some amazing NZ wines.
