Destiny Bay Wines is a small, boutique winery in New Zealand. The winery and vineyards are located on a small island, Waiheke Island, a short ferry ride from Auckland.

Destiny Bay Wines is supporting laser sailor, Miranda Powrie, as she strives to compete for the 2012 Olympics in London. Travel and training for laser sailing is costly. Miranda needs to travel to and compete in several locations. These places include France, Holland, England, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. Imagine the costs of travel and accommodations as well as numerous other necessities required to compete in important regattas worldwide on the way to the Olympics.

According to a recent press release from Destiny Bay, “Each person who donates $100 or more to Miranda’s Olympic training campaign will receive a complimentary bottle of Destiny Bay’s 2006 Destinae, rated five stars by top wine critic, Michael Cooper.” To learn more about Miranda Powrie and to donate visit http://mirandapowrie.com/.

We had the opportunity to visit Destiny Bay Wines in New Zealand last fall. The Destiny Bay Wines are high-end wines where hands-on vineyard management and winemaking are all important. Destiny Bay Wines are available in New Zealand as well as the United States. Visit the Destiny Bay Wines website.
