WINERY - Alpha Domus

Alpha Domus has always been inspired to create beautiful wines of worth, with quality and expert craftsmanship paramount. Proudly a New Zealand family owned winery, 'Alpha' is derived from the names of the founders and 'Domus' is Latin for home. The Vineyard is located on deep river gravel beds laid down by the Ngaruroro river 10,000 years ago, reminiscent of the alluvial plains found in other great wine regions.

Alpha Domus is in transition to becoming a fully certified organic vineyard and winery.

ENTERTAINMENT - The Passengers

Using a variety of acoustic instruments such as acoustic bass, acoustic guitar, harmonica, drums and percussion, their audiences are made up of fun-loving people who enjoy a high quality of entertainment. The repertoire includes hits from the genres of classic and modern pop, rock, funk, reggae and Irish, and the songs have been chosen to appeal to people of all ages.
