Black Friday.
When all the Black Friday noise has died down, we’ll still be here. Us and thousands of other cool, small, local, kick butt, heart-filled businesses around our beaut country. Spread the word!

*Win Tickets*
This crazy old year is rapidly drawing to a close, but before it does, the wonderful Studio Italia Cinema Italiano is rolling into town to entertain and delight! Run by our good friends, Renee + Paolo, there are some fab flicks on offer. Some delightful little slices of Italy! So if you can’t travel...which you can’t...this is 💯 the next best thing!
Renee +Paolo have given us two tickets to the opening night to give away, it’s this Wednesday in Havelock North, and we can vouch for the movie as we had a sneak peek in Napier back in July - it’s fab - An Almost Ordinary Summer. WARNING: it’ll make your heart ache for the Italian coastline!
To go in the draw, tag the bestie you’ll bring along and note your perfect Italian 🇮🇹 meal below while you’re at it. Drawn tomorrow midday. 18+ only (glass of our wine at the opening included). Go get it!
If I’m allowed to participate I would love to go with Aatu to ease this homesickness ♥️ We’d enjoy a nice risotto al maccagno if we were back home ✨🥂
I'll take Luke & we'll have a carbonara al fungi!
Now that's two handsome blokes!!
Sunday Sessions.
World famous in Te Awanga! Have you locked these dates in your diary...? We’ll be announcing the bands next week. Hint: nepotism.

Making the best of.
Although 2020 has been a rip snorting hold on tight for the ride kind of a year, it sure is throwing out some jolly great wines!
New releases are beginning to roll through - a little Chardy and Pinot Gris, here, plus a tidy little Te Awanga Estate Pinot Gris on the website. And we wait in anticipation for what’s to come ...and just on the QT, I’ve tried some of it and it’s 👌!
Great to hear about something good coming out of this year!! Well done!
Will definitely try the Pinot Gris🍷🍷🍷
F.A.W.C! Fatigue.
Wowser what a day we had yesterday at our F.A.W.C long lunch - Rod and Stu’s Excellent American Adventure. Lots of new faces, some glorious old ones, plenty of laughs and more than enough deliciousness! Thank you all for joining in the US v NZ fun - you are all firm TAE friends now.
To our crew who worked their 🍑s off both inside the event and outside at our Courtyard Pop Up - you are fab and we’re lucky to have you all. To marvellous Loma Robertson for coming back to make a stonkingly great guest appearance - the southern style food was👌. And Stu...how can we forget the Stu to our Rod...!? Stu and son, Dom, a Devine powerhouse.
Also So Vintage for the chairs and, of course, the ever fabulous Miss Frou Frou for the glam bits.
We have our feet up this arvo...tēnā koutou ya’ll.
Great day thanks Jo & Rod x
Courtyard Pop Up.
Yes, we are open tomorrow (Saturday) even though we thought we wouldn’t be as we’ve got our sold out F.A.W.C Rod + Stu’s Excellent American Adventure long lunch happening inside the Cellar Door.
But since there’s so many lovely peeps around we’ve decided to do a little Courtyard Pop Up and open. To be fair, the name maybe a little misleading - you certainly don’t have to stay in the courtyard the whole time...but that’s where the bar will be...!
From 11-5pm, a slightly more refined menu and wine list on offer, but with the same knock out views...pop in! 🌞

If you know us then you’ll know we’re not ones for too much pomp and so when the good folks from F.A.W.C came up with the idea for wineries to conduct a tasting from their car boots, we were 💯 in!
Win 2 tickets to this Friday’s Wine Car Boot Party at wonderful Waikoko Gardens, valued at $40 each. Ticket gets you entry and tastings from around 40 of our closest Hawke’s Bay winery besties. There’s delish food too which you can pur-chase on the night, from 4pm-7pm.
To go in the draw, tag someone below + name your fave Te Awanga Estate wine. 18+ only. Drawn Wednesday midday from all FB and IG entries, giving you more than enough time to book a babysitter and get yo’ hair done!
Te Awanga Estate syrah is a fine accompaniment to Glen Comrie 's late night singing 'talent'.

Shipment day.
Very different to judgement day...and heading your way next week if you’re part of our Drinkers+Keepers wine club. Still time to sign up to get the November shipment. After that, the next is February...and that seems way, way too far away!
