🥂It's storytime!
Do you mind if we take a trip down memory lane? We didn't think so 😉
The year is 2015 and our founder, Racquel, is in Waiheke Island, New Zealand. She was on a work trip to Auckland, NZ, and decided to take a wine and biking tour one day.
Well, if it's one thing that we all know, it's that when you take that kind of trip, drinking becomes your best bud.
And remember, Racquel is in New Zealand which is naturally of a higher the altitude — and as the story goes, the higher the altitude, the better the wine.
We feel like this is the part of the caption where you're expecting us to tell you how Racquel ended up chocolate wasted and accidentally purchased 100 bottles of wine.
Not so much, haha!
From climbing the hills with the bike to get to each winery, her legs were beyond sore, the biking killed her buzz, and she obviously didn't bring any cases of wine back on the bike.
Though, as you can see, the views were spectacular, the wine stewards were passionate + friendly, and made her feel welcomed at every turn!
To top it off — here's a little known fact: Waiheke makes a great Shiraz, and Shiraz is known for growing in areas with gorgeous views, like this.
Your turn! Have any of you ever explored wineries outside of the US? Tell us about it! Where did you go and what was your experience?
