There are so many beautiful wine regions on both the north and south island. I loved the Kumeu Wine region when we lived in Auckland. There are so many lovely places for weddings around here. There was always something going on at Soljans and I also love wine from Matua. The other place that did fantastic tastings was Kerr Farm Winery and I hear they do great pizza too!
Only a short ferry ride and you are over at Waiheke Island where there are so many vineyards to choose from! The below shot was taken while we had dinner at Mudbrick which would be a stunning location for wedding. The views are spectacular.
I thought I would write about the ones near Auckland as I often feel that they are missed out when people talk about the great wines of NZ. I love the fact they were just on our doorstep!
So to the 'Theme of the Day'! We had to have a Vineyard theme with so many amazing venue options in NZ being vineyards. This design was done by an Aussie designer called Lyndsay Meager Sann who launched her own boutique studio, Its a Date Design, in January of 2008, concentrating on graphic design, illustration and paper craft for all kinds of special occasions. Paperless Wedding LOVED her style and it was really different to other designs on the site.
We actually hooked up thanks to the wonders of Twitter. We put a shout out for designers and Lydnsay got in touch. We then lined up a Skype call and away we went.
I love the way she combined the chandelier and grapes together. It is was just the kind of thing we were looking for!
Thanks Lyndsay.
