Some days you just canโt pick the weather! But ... the magic is always there at our wineries โจ
We love sharing it with our guests from all over the world, and itโs even better when everything comes together for something truly special for our guests.
For our solo traveller Misako, from Tokyo, Japan, that magic moment came at the very end of her Wine Hopper day. After a true four-seasons-in-one-day adventure, from crisp sunshine โ๏ธ through to torrential rain ๐ง๏ธMisako had the pleasure of meeting Christopher Keys, Chief Winemaker at Gibbston Valley Winery.
Christopher, a multitalented winemaker, (who even speaks a little Japanese!), shared a lovely moment in the vines with her ๐. Kiki and Misako were so delighted in the chance meeting, it was the perfect way to finish off the day.
Thank you for joining us, Misako, on your very first trip to New Zealand. We wish you all the very best in your new career, theyโre lucky to have you and we hope we see you again one day โค๏ธ
