Wine Tasting


Last night's wine tasting went very well. We were picked up from the hotel, had a tour of the wine-growing area, then went to Vidal Winery for starters and a tasting of 13 different wines. After that we went up to Te Mata Peak (whilst trying to balance a glass of New Zealand fizz on very bumpy roads!) to look at the view and watch the sunset. The picture shows the Craggy Range Winery under a glorious pink sky.

Next we were driven down to Craggy Range's restaurant, Terroir, for our main course - with more wine. Then we went to New Zealand's oldest winery, Mission Estate, for dessert served with a New Zealand ice wine, tea and coffee.

Finally we were driven back to the hotel, and presented with the glasses we had used for the fizz and a bottle of Hawke's Bay wine. All in all an excellent evening.
