We are veterans of many wine festivals up and down the country for the past 25 years, but we have to rate this latest event tops.
It ticked all the boxes...perfect day, happy crowds, fantastic venues, great organisation, good local food, good music... can it get any better?
Using the showgrounds as a departure point was a stroke of genius, as there was so much to enjoy between buses.
The usual problems with overindulgence were rarely seen, and dealt with adequately.
We really appreciated the presence of so many officials to control bus loadings in an efficient and helpful way. Apart from a late start, buses were adequate and drivers friendly, adding to the happy atmosphere. Well done Gisborne!!
