🍷 Wine, Food, Tunes & Last‑Minute Gifts - because Christmas shopping should be fun! 🎁
🎶 Live Music by The Pipi Pickers
Get ready for the full four‑piece band — guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass — doing what they do best: delivering energetic, toe‑tapping bluegrass with heart and soul. The Pipi Pickers are a stalwart of our region’s folk and bluegrass scene, with a reputation for lively shows at venues and festivals across NZ and Australia. Expect sing‑alongs, foot‑stomping rhythms.
🍝 Authentic Italian Flavours with Our Beloved Locals
We’re delighted to have two of our favourite Italians serving up delicious fare:
Pasta Di Giõ will be dishing out their legendary Pasta Alla Ruota — that famous cheese‑wheel pasta that’s often on everyone’s bucket list. Now you’ll get to enjoy it with a glass of Matakana wine in hand, in a relaxed, festive setting.
Italian in the Village will also be there, bringing their warm energy and signature dishes — a tasty, comforting pairing to wine, good tunes and great conversation.
🍷 Sip & Savour the Best from Matakana Wine & Gin
Local wine growers will be pouring some of the region’s finest wines, and the team at Matakana Gin will have refreshing cocktails on hand — so whether you’re into crisp whites, smooth reds or a summer‑style G&T, there’s something to sip for everyone.
🎁 There’s a special kind of magic in shopping the Village — wandering through beautiful stores, chatting with passionate local shop owners, and discovering thoughtful gifts you won’t find anywhere else. It’s not just about ticking off a list — it’s about the experience.
