WAIRARAPA WINES HARVEST FESTIVAL
20 Mar 2010
The Wairarapa Wines Harvest Festival is recognized as one of Wairarapa’s unique, iconic events showcasing sensational wines and food from throughout the Wairarapa region. Seventeen of Wairarapa’s finest wineries and ten of its highest profile restaurants & food producers will showcase their wares set amongst ancient native trees in the Festival’s spectacular riverside setting in the popular wine growing area of Gladstone. Visitors to the Festival will have the opportunity to sample wines from not only the larger, better known wineries but also from some of the smaller boutique wineries in the region. In keeping with the informality of the event visitors will also have the opportunity to meet the wine makers from the vineyards involved giving them an insight into the wide variety & styles of wine available in the region. The restaurants on the other hand will focus on presenting some of the great local food and produce that the Wairarapa has to offer - Rabbit Pie, Cod & Crayfish Cakes, Venison Burgers and Wild Pork are just some of the delicacies that have featured on previous menus. There will also be an emphasis on entertainment with four live bands performing throughout the day.
