Gary Barlow's Wine Tour

Auckland & Waiheke

The Take That star explore New Zealand's vineyards, food and landscapes, beginning in Auckland, where a traditional Maori welcome sets the tone for his journey. Chef Ben Bayly introduces him to the city's vibrant food scene at Ahi, before taking him across the Hauraki Gulf to Waiheke Island, where he picks olives, samples extra virgin olive oil, flies through an ancient forest by zipline and reaches a winery by the bay. As the sun sets, comedian Jason Manford arrives in spectacular style, ready to join Gary for the rest of the trip.

Queenstown

Gary and Jason Manford arrive in Queenstown, where they take a boat ride through the Shotover Canyons at high speed. They head to Amisfield Winery, where winemaker Sam Davies introduces them to Central Otago pinot noir, a robot scarecrow and one of New Zealand's most renowned kitchens. Their adventure ends on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, with an extreme cold plunge and a sauna with an excellent view
