The mountains, lakes and valleys of New Zealand's most picturesque wine region beckons all Pinot Noir addicts to the seventh Central Otago Pinot Noir Celebration. Central Otago's winemakers invite you to help them celebrate all things Pinot Noir this coming January 2011.
Since its inception in 2000, the Central Otago Pinot Noir Celebration has quickly established itself as one of New Zealand's premier wine events, and a not to be missed date on the international Pinot Noir calendar. The Celebration brings together the wine world's leading writers and commentators, together with wine and food enthusiasts to experience Central Otago's best wine, cuisine and sights.
The Celebration will be held over three days on the 26th, 27th and 28th January 2012. The programme is a balanced mix of informal and formal events in a relaxed, non-competitive and casual atmosphere – all hallmarks of the Central Otago experience. Pinot Noir is the highlight, with an emphasis on tasting and learning about this wonderful variety from its oldest vineyards to some of the newest. Add to this a cuisine programme to match the acclaimed wines, the stunning landscape, the characters, and the legendary after dark frivolity.

WHERE: Locations throughout Central Otago
COST: Varies
