Exclusive: NZ Wine Tasting
Entry Requirements: 18+
We’re thrilled to offer New Zealand Society members an exclusive opportunity to attend a special event – normally reserved for members of The Wine Society, one of the UK’s most prestigious wine organisations.
For nearly a century, the New Zealand Society has proudly connected Kiwis in the UK, celebrating our culture and achievements. As part of our commitment to creating exceptional experiences for members, we’re giving you access to an evening dedicated to the very best of New Zealand wine – in an iconic London setting.
Wines of New Zealand Walkaround
Founded in 1874 after the Great Exhibition, The Wine Society has spent nearly 150 years curating exceptional wines and building relationships with the world’s greatest winemakers. It was among the first to bring New Zealand wines to Britain – introducing the crisp, vibrant styles that now define our national identity.
On Monday, 1 September 2025, step inside the magnificent Institute of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street – a Grade II-listed Edwardian masterpiece in Westminster – for an evening dedicated to New Zealand wine at its finest.

Taste as many wines as you like, at your own pace, with a glass and tasting booklet provided on arrival. Whether you’re discovering bold new favourites, rediscovering a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, or daring to try a silky Syrah, this is an evening for exploration, connection, and Kiwi spirit. It’s the perfect chance to connect with fellow Kiwis over a world-class glass.
