WineNZ Summer 2019-20

Tripping Around the Vines | Feature
nights at the Woolshed Apartments situated in the
township of Havelock North, there is so much to
experience in this wonderful region. The township is
full of colour from the fresh hanging baskets full of
blooms. Beautiful, colourful and very well presented.
It’s obvious that the business owners, the council
and locals are a ‘house proud’ lot.
Our friends, having moved from Wellington, tell us
they have seen a lot of change in the last 25 years.
BLACK BARN VINEYARD
This boutique vineyard is five minutes from the
village of Havelock North, situated on the Te Mata
hills providing stunning views for the visitor, a perfect
situation to spend an hour or two over lunch and a
wine tasting.
Black Barn offers luxury accommodation of
seventeen properties. Not cheap but absolutely
unique and recognized amongst the very best
available in New Zealand.
The Black Barn Growers Market is held every
Saturday morning in the summer months where you
will find many mouth-watering goodies.
There is an amphitheatre for entertainment, which
has been described by internationally recognized
singers as the best outdoor venue in New Zealand.
The whole amphitheatre is surrounded by 50-yearold
Muscatel grapes. Black Barn Rose 2018
Vintage, a most enjoyable drop indeed on a warm
afternoon tripping through the vines.
Their 2019 Vintage is now available on line at
www.@blackbarn.com, $23 per bottle. Enjoy!
