Co-founder and CTO (Chief Tasting Officer) of WineFriend, Yvonne Lorkin, is guest speaker at Elephant Hill and one of the world’s leading authorities on all things cheese, Juliet Harbutt, will be holding a cheese and wine masterclass at Te Awanga Estate.”

McKinley said the event’s mission was to share the craft and excellence of winemaking, particularly spotlighting the distinctive coastal wines of Te Awanga, known for their fresh, crisp, fruity and citrus-infused notes that perfectly complement the summer season.

“Where else in New Zealand can you find such a concentration of award-winning wineries in such close proximity? This event has been a long time coming, and it’s an absolute pleasure to make it a reality.

Tickets are $65. There are convenient bus options from Hastings, Napier, Taradale, and Havelock North for $20 return.
