Prepare your palettes…
If you’re an avid foodie and love a quality drop of wine, you’re not going to want to miss this tasty little festival heading to Matakana. The Matakana Oyster and Wine Festival is set to take place on Sunday 7th October, and promises (oyster lover or not) to be a day full of delights! Expect delicious local food, some of New Zealand’s best wine, live music, shucking competitions, cooking demos, and even face painting and crafts for the kids. We couldn’t think fo a better area to hold this event than the charming Matakana Village. Why not grab your friends and family, and make for a weekend getaway… the world is your oyster!
After indulging in all you can eat plump little oysters, return to your lovely Matakana holiday home and unwind with your group. Enjoy all that the area has to offer from the famed Matakana Village Farmers Market held every Saturday from 8am-1pm (think whitebait fritters, fresh coffee, bacon butties, crepes, wholesome local produce and more!). Omaha and Tawharanui surf beaches for a dose of serenity, and the gorgeous boutique Matakana Cinemas which are perfect after a day of exploring.
We’re excited, we hope you are too!
