Friends of the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail are now much easier to find thanks to a new sticker that identifies businesses along the 380-km trail as providers of world-class food and wine experiences. The Classic New Zealand Wine Trail is a signposted self drive touring route through Marlborough, Wellington, Wairarapa and Hawke’s Bay; the regions that account for more than 75 per cent of the country’s wine production. www.classicwinetrail.co.nz
