The North West Country Wine Beer & Food Festival snuck in just ahead of cyclone Gabrielle, meaning while there was a short shower during the day, no one got sun burnt. Set in the beautiful grounds of The Hunting Lodge and surrounded by vineyards, patrons could eat and drink while listening and dancing to some of NZs best musicians - Bic Runga rounded out the day, putting on a fabulous set (stepping in for a sick Tammy Neilson), other artists were Nick Brightwell, Georgia Lines, Hollie Smith and Troy Kingi & The Promises.
