Ronan Keating in Napier

For my Christmas present, John bought me tickets to go and see Ronan Keating at the Church Road Winery in Napier, so this weekend we headed down there via Taupo.

Once we arrived, we checked into our wonderful B&B accommodation on the hill in Napier and then went down to the winery.

We had seated tickets with an amazing view of the stage and Ronan was excellent, with a beautiful warm summer evening and surrounded by grapevines, it was a perfect!

On Sunday, after a full cooked breakfast we headed out for a drive around the local area. I can officially say that I have fallen in love with Napier, full of beautifully kept villa style houses and art deco buildings and all the surrounding area is full of breathtaking scenery and vineyards, it's just heaven. We drove up to Te Mata point, which felt like you were on the top of the world and then found a lovely winery (Trinity Hill) where we had a antipasto basket in their gardens listening to yet more live music, the weekend couldn't have been improved.


We came back on Monday feeling completely refreshed and relax, just like we'd been away for a week.
