Pinot Noir NZ

Written by  Staff Reporters

With a date set for Pinot Noir New Zealand 2025, to be held in Ōtautahi Christchurch 11-13 February 2025, Committee Member Paul Donaldson gives us a taste of what's to come.

Our latest news is... with the event being held in a new city, I've been gauging interest in the desire for a list of reputable late-night establishments capable of providing a high-class soothing libation... All feedback welcome!

Prepare for... Pinot and partying, reconnecting and rollicking, cultivation and celebration. Oh and learning for sure. Bring it on.

Our committee is... laser focused with a terminator-esque determination to deliver a great event. Oh, and they are great people as well (unlike the actual terminator... well, in the first movie anyway).

New Zealand Pinot is... ready to create more hype than a Taylor Swift world tour.

One thing you should know about me is... that as one of the few committee members to have carried over from the previous board, I have been awarded official mascot status. I am "Paul the Purple Pinot Porpoise". There is no going back, I may need a costume.
