‘Featured Winery of the Month’ was first launched in 2023, where selected wineries are featured on the New Zealand Wine Directory Website Blog for a calendar month. I’ve now shared the stories of 36 New Zealand wineries & it’s been a great success, with very positive feedback. Read on, to see how you can feature your New Zealand Winery for a month.
“The intention of Featured Winery of the Month, is to share your story with my readers and followers, redirecting them to your website, ultimately purchasing and enjoying your wines.”
SORRY – FULLY SUBSCRIBED FOR 2026
Will start taking expressions of interest for 2027 later this year. JB
How it Works
‘Featured Winery of the Month’ is all about your winery; a story of the people, the place, the vineyards, your practices, the wines and anything else you’d like to include. Features are usually around 1,500 words, a 7 Minute read, include a selection of relevant images and links to your website. Features remain displayed at the top of the NZ Wine Directory blog, for the whole calendar month & shared across the NZ Wine Directory social media.*
With your permission I’ll draft your article using content & images from your website & social media. You may provide additional content if you wish. I’ll then send you a draft to amend / approve and a screen capture of how it will look once published. Once all approved and published, an invoice will be sent. A one-off fee of NZ$259.00 +gst applies from January 2026.
If that’s something you’d like to participate in please let me know and we’ll get the ball rolling. Look forward to telling your story!
