THE WINERY TOUR 2018
The iconic summer tour refreshes for its 11 th year with a new format featuring Annie Crummer, Che Fu, Jason Kerrison (Opshop), Betty-Anne Monga (Ardijah), Hollie Smith and Tami Neilson
After 10 years and 149 shows around New Zealand, the annual Winery Tour will be shaking things up a little for its 2018 run. While maintaining the key elements that have made the tour so successful and beloved since 2007 (all kiwi talent, great local wine and food, in stunning, family-friendly locations ), the all-star laden 2018 tour will come with a twist.
The 3-set format that is another staple of the Winery Tour stays in place, but the presentation gets a reset. Tami Neilson and her Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm will open the show, with what is sure to be a high octane blast, showcasing Tami’s incredible voice and multi-award winning songs. For the middle set, some of the greatest voices in NZ music history will take the stage together, supported by one band, performing the hits from each of their storied catalogues.
Annie, Che, Jason, Betty-Anne, Hollie and band will then take a short break before returning to the stage for the headline set: Songbook – Together in Concert. Together, the kiwi music legends will present their takes on their all time favourite songs – songs that have influenced them, by the artists that inspired them. Featuring the music of Prince, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Blondie, the Eagles, Tina Turner and many more, ‘Songbook – Together in Concert’ is destined to be the ultimate Winery Tour showstopper.
The Winery Tour 2018 will present ten shows around New Zealand in January and February, celebrating the kiwi summer in the best way possible, with outstanding music, great wine and food in some of New Zealand’s most idyllic wineries and outdoor venues. Two new venues are added for 2018 – the Canterbury show moves into the heart of Christchurch at Hagley Park, while the beautiful Kainui Road Vineyard in Kerkeri hosts its first ever Winery Tour show.
