This week we had the honour of hosting Todd McClay, MP, Minister of Agriculture, as well as a delegation that included Carolien Vis, Deputy Head of Mission, Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Frazer MacDiarmid, Lead Adviser, Trade Policy, British High Commission and Stuart Smith, MP for Kaikōura.

The delegation was here to support WinePro – a three day conference and exhibition celebrating the international wine industry at the home of New Zealand wine, Marlborough.
After opening the event, and touring the 100 exhibits, we had the pleasure of hosting the delegation at the New Zealand Wine Centre.

The group toured the facilities, visiting the Bragato Research Institute (BRI) Research Winery and getting a glimpse of the Experimental Future Vineyard, which will officially be opened in July.
