No not the film! On Sunday, which was even hotter and bluer than Saturday, we visited a couple of Hawke's Bay's many wineries. We had lunch at Church Road, to the dulcet sounds of a saxophonist (!) and then visited the nearby Mission Estate, NZ's oldest winery. This was established by the Marist Brothers in the 19th century and is clearly still doing a roaring trade today. The old Mission house and grounds were absolutely beautiful and the wine wasn't too shabby either! Check out the old photo of the priests testing the wine - the guy on the right looks pretty smashed already and is trying to seriously hold it together for the camera....
