The Central Otago Pinot Celebration has been running since 2000. The event takes place every 2 consecutive years, with every third year consigned to the NZ Pinot Celebration in Wellington. The Central Otago Pinot Celebration has established itself as one of New Zealand's premier wine events and our vision is to bring together the wine world's leading writers and commentators, together with wine and food enthusiasts to experience Central Otagos best wine, cuisine and sights.

One of the most picturesque wine regions in the world, Queenstown, New Zealand, will again play host to the Central Otago Pinot Noir Celebration - an event that has established itself as a must-do date on the international Pinot Noir calendar. We invite you, with Central Otagos winemakers, to celebrate all things Pinot Noir by saving this date in 2012.

If you love Pinot Noir then this event is a must! Enjoy the commentary from some of the world's key influencers on Pinot Noir, share views with Central Otago's top winemakers and partake in fine cuisine from NZ's leading chefs whilst enjoying the scenery and breathtaking backdrop that is Central Otago, New Zealand.

What to expect over the two day programme in 2012:

A panel of winemakers and international Pinot Noir specialists are being assembled to lead the two days of tastings and wine experiences that are designed to showcase the best of Central Otago. Up to 40 Central Otago wineries will be involved.

The programme will continue to provide the winning formula of previous celebrations.

Date: 26th - 28th January 2012
