Hatton Travels
Coast 2 Coast 2011

With the car loaded up with wine we left the kids behind with the Grandparents and travelled hawkes Bay to Taupo to visit Scenic Cellars. ‘The Intern’ Syrah 2010 recently won their ‘Best of Tasting’ from 140 red wines!

Fantastic, great to meet the crew and see the new ‘café’ at the front of shop… a great place to spend some time and of course, too difficult to leave empty handed.
