Dancing Petrel Vineyards – Our Wine Partner
We are delighted to introduce our new wine partner for the 2026 Copthorne Bay of Islands 4 Course Classic.
In keeping with our philosophy of supporting local business and tourism, we are excited to help promote Northland as a great boutique wine-growing region through our event.
The owners of Dancing Petrel Vineyard, Kim and Graham Wilkinson, fell in love with Paewhenua Island when they visited the area in 2012.
They purchased a home and vineyard and set about creating unique wines. The microclimate of Paewhenua Island, combined with its location, provides fantastic growing conditions that produce wines the owners are truly proud of.
Dancing Petrel Wines have received excellent reviews. Michael Cooper awarded the Dancing Petrel Tannat a 5-star rating, while the Cabernet Franc and Viognier 2019 received 4.5 stars.
The Rosé, Pinot Gris, and Viognier 2018 each earned 4 stars and are excellent drinking.
You can purchase Dancing Petrel wines at the winery, local bottle stores, and via the tournament.
