International popstar and blonde Irish heartthrob Ronan Keating wowed his fans at a Hawke's Bay winery last night.

The former Boyzone member played to thousands of people at the Church Road Winery in Napier.

The Peter Urlich Sextet and up-and-coming soloist Matt Gow opened the show.

The previous evening, Keating played his first New Zealand gig for years at the Mudhouse Winery, in Waipara, Canterbury.
