Can I get a discount for multiple ticket purchases?

We are not offering any discounts for multiple tickets at this year’s events. We have considered the value vs the cost to deliver the events when setting the ticket price. The events have been designed to appeal to our members across all facets of the industry, and we hope you and your wider team will join us in Wellington this August.  

How do I request an invoice for my ticket purchase?

You will automatically receive a payment receipt by email, which will include the GST number. If you would like to arrange tickets for 5 or more attendees and prefer to be invoiced, please request this via the event ticketing system or contact events@nzwine.com.

Is GST included in the ticket price?

All prices displayed on the website are excluding GST. When you purchase your ticket, you will see that GST is added to the final payment. 

Do I need to print out my ticket to present at the event/s?

We suggest saving your unique ticket QR code in your emails or as a photo on your phone. On the day, you can simply show that code to our events staff, and they will scan your registration. If you prefer to print out the email, that’s all good too. Just bring the copy with you, and we will process it from there.

The events are a celebration of the New Zealand wine industry; we welcome anyone with an interest or interaction in the industry to attend.
