If you haven’t heard of Clicquot in the Snow, where have<br />
you been? In its eighth year, the four-day event sees<br />
Queenstown resemble a Champagne tower, with the good<br />
stuff flowing from the top of Coronet Peak down to the town<br />
centre. This year marks 200 years since Madame Clicquot<br />
added still red wine to sparkling to produce the world’s first<br />
blended rosé Champagne, so best block out your calendar<br />
August 2–5.<br />
