    Tasting - Misty Cove, Blenheim

    Venue: Johnsonville Community Centre Hall, 30 Moorefield Rd, Johnsonville, Wellington 6037
    Entry fee: Members $12 / Guests $16 
    Presenter: Chief Winemaker, Emmanuel ‘Manu’ Bolliger

    Misty Cove ain’t your average wine brand. It’s not just about the wine; it’s about flipping the script on winemaking. Each sip tells a tale, has a swagger of its own.

    The brand’s origin story kicks off in 2008, a time when ‘The Founder’, New Zealander Andrew Bailey, ventured to The Netherlands, and while running his thriving wine import distribution company, Forty Four Degrees, he laid the groundwork for Misty Cove. Fast forward to 2012, with a solid brand foothold in Europe, his love for Marlborough prompted his return, sculpting Misty into what it is today. Now, the reins are in the hands of a tight-knit crew united by their shared determination to uphold Misty Cove’s legacy of innovation, quality and nonconformity.
