So tonight I went to Scenic Cellars Red Wine tasting event, now I don’t want you thinking that your favorite blogger is a big drinker, I aren’t.

However, good wine is like all things good, they should be appreciated!

So the Scenic Cellars is as the name suggests a wine cellar, with fantastic views, with tens of thousands of wines to tempt every palate and budget. What is so unique about the cellars is the underground experience, a staircase leads you down to a number of spaces, deep in the Taupo sub soil, it is here that you can truly appreciate the number and variety of wines.

Anyway getting back to the wine tasting, every month Scenic Cellars hosts an evening like this one, it is small and intimate group of about 30-40 people and with over 150 wines, teasing and tempting their palates with some extraordinary treats. And you don’t have to be a wine connoisseur to be there, I talked to a number of people that enjoy a nice wine, and tonight was seen as an opportunity to enlarge their knowledge, (at no risk). To the serious wine tasters who sniff, swirl and spit!

So TravelMonkee highly recommends the Scenic Cellars next time you travel to Lake Taupo, it is experience shopping at the best, but hey can’t wait to get to Taupo Scenic have one of the most comprehensive online shops, http://www.sceniccellars.co.nz/ where you can get that special wine. PS. after testing you get to take some of the wines home with you…I got the Frizzell! http://www.frizzellwines.co.nz/index.html

A great selection of Wines await you at Scenic Cellars
