Question 2

How do tastings work?

Accepted Answer

At Winetopia, each ticket comes with a set number of tasting tokens. You can buy extra tokens if you want more. Tastings are around 30ml per pour.

Silver Coins
Winetopia is all about discovering your new favourite wines from around Aotearoa New Zealand. Most ticket types include 5 Silver coins which you will receive on entry. You can purchase more on the day if required. These have a face value of $2 each and generally will secure you a sample of wine (30ml) from one of more than 50 participating wineries, although some of the more expensive wines may require two silver coins.

Gold Coins
To try a one of the most highly regarded wines in the country that sell for over $100 per bottle, you will need to purchase some Golden Coins. These are $35 for 5 and each Golden Coin will secure you a sample (30ml). The list of wines will be added to the website close to the event time and this will also be published in the event guide given to each attendee. Golden Coins are available as an add-on when you buy your tickets, and on the day if still available.
