The Festival dancers impressed the crowd at the Waiheke Vintage Festival Opening ceremony with their grape harvest and crushing dance. John Hawkesby as MC was as entertaining as ever, Len Brown spoke kind words about the Waiheke wine industry and Kim Goldwater as the pioneer of the Waiheke wine industry cut the opening ribbon. See www.waihekevintagefestival.co.nz for more details of the 50 wine, food, music and art events on offer at 17 vineyards between Saturday March 29th and Sunday April 6th 2014.
