No photos to day - sorry. Te wine tasting didn't lend itself to photographs, the fact that it was right at the end of the season and all the grapes had been collected, the wine made and bottled - there was nothing to photograph.
We chose a specific winery which Susan and Jenny knew about, it was just up he road in Hastings and we chose it because it had a nice restaurant too. The plan was a nice relaxing lunch and a wine tour, great! The restaurant was one of these places where you pay more and get less, poor Tom thought that his main course was just an appetizer and finished it in seconds, mine was the most substantial of the lot and still wasn't a great deal. It took ages to get served and we almost missed the tour, had to ask that the start time be delayed.
The tour was quite interesting,even for a non drinker like me, it is a pity that there was not more happening but we now know all about wine production. This particular winery use their facilities to process Olive Oil in the off season so at least something was happening.
After the tour we had a walk round Hastings, not a lot happening there so we headed back to Havelock North for a coffee and more supermarket shopping - supermarkets are beginning to become the basis of this trip.
Tomorrow Rotarua, hopefully more photographs!
