Red and white wines from New Zealand are said to be among the country's best-kept secrets.

Various vinegar products from TasteMaker are also available.

An "Education in New Zealand" talk has also been organized for May 20, 7:30-8:30 p.m. for interested individuals who want to further their education outside the country.

"We have a growing number of Filipino learners choosing New Zealand as their education destination. Around 3,000 Filipinos studied in New Zealand in 2015, 71 percent more than in 2014," New Zealand Ambassador the Philippines David Strachan said. 

He added that the introduction of Manila-to-Auckland flights by event partner Philippine Airlines makes it easier for Filipinos to travel, visit, and enjoy New Zealand. 

"Experience New Zealand 2016" will be held from May 20 to 22 at the Glorietta Activity Center, Glorietta, Makati City. —Aya Tantiangco/KG, GMA News
