Howard Park Wines Heads to NZ for one-off event

Howard Park Wines has joined a number of significant winemakers in Auckland for a one-off wine tasting event that introduces their signature varietals to the public.

The exclusive event invited the twelve members of Australia’s First Families of Wine to join New Zealand’s Family of Twelve to showcase the wines that make each region so unique. The event, named Unrivalled History, called on the Next Generation, who come from the finest multi-generational wineries in each nation’s history.

Everyone attending the wine tasting event was more than eager to sample a glass from each of the 24 wineries across Australia and New Zealand, and to hear the stories behind each of the iconic brands.

Operations Manager of Howard Park, Nat Burch, says the tasting event was a must-do from the very beginning. Not only did it allow the winery to promote their range, but it provided space to collaborate and learn from other wineries and to speak to the consumers directly.

“We’re proud to be a part of this amazing group of winemakers,” says Burch. “They’re the flagship wineries of their region, and we couldn’t be happier to number amongst them. The First Families are all passionate about Australia’s wine making heritage, and are devoted to constant innovation and learning.”

“It was great being able to interact with people firsthand, whether they’re part of the industry or a wine lover coming along for a day of tasting. Speaking with people in the know, and from our consumers, truly is one of the best parts of the job.”

Howard Park  celebrates its 30th Anniversary this year. Since it’s inception in 1986, Howard Park’s philosophy has been to craft outstanding boutique Australian wines of great subtlety, character, balance and elegance with an uncompromising commitment to quality.

As well as sticking to tradition, the award-winning winery sets the stage for innovation. Alongside the 23 other wineries in the group, Howard Park has a commitment to educating the up-and-coming members in their family to pass on invaluable skills to the next generation.
