Every spring, the annual New Zealand Wine Fair comes to Canada, bringing a fresh selection of New Zealand wines as well as a slew of winemakers, all ready to share their creations with Canadians.
Trade tastings take place in many major city centres, and there are also public events, where people can try the wines accompanied by a cheese selection from New Zealand.
