- Hi Rodger,
Sorry for the late reply, I'm working on the run up to summer silly season. I have just come back from a visit to Hawke's Bay, and there are alot of wineries to get through, definately when I get a chance again I will come by for a visit. How many people can you cater for at a tasting? My business runs groups of up to 8 people or the occasional group of up to 25 people.
I have been studying at EIT, distance certificate in Wine programme, which has been very worthwhile!
Cheers,
Ruth
