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.

Winetopia is a cashless event, wine tastings are purchased with tasting coins. This year, these are digital and accessed via your Winetopia App. Please make sure you download the app before attending the event, it makes entry a smoother process. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play Store. Food and any items you wish to take home can be purchased using credit card or EFTPOS. No cash is accepted at the event.

Most wineries will have bottles for sale which can be taken home (but not opened onsite) and will also take case orders to be delivered to you later. Wineries will have EFTPOS facilities to accept cards.
