This year, instead of the usual Chardonnay Affair, Experience Gisborne hosted "It's Not the Chardonnay Affair – Just an Affair with Chardonnay," a delightful two-day Chardonnay journey. Twenty enthusiastic guests enjoyed an afternoon at Bushmere Estate Winery filled with wine tasting, food, music, and dancing. The following day featured a visit to Eastwoodhill National Arboretum, followed by wine tasting with Steve Voysey and a magnificent lunch prepared by the talented Eastwoodhill ladies. The experience continued with more wine tasting at TW Wines, hosted by Geordie and Paul. This thoughtfully curated event offered a perfect blend of nature, exquisite wines, delicious food, and lively entertainment, creating memorable moments for all participants and beautifully celebrating the charm of Chardonnay in a unique and engaging way.

Today marks the first day of Autumn for the Southern Hemisphere! 🍂

We are home to the largest collection of Northern Hemisphere trees south of the equator and many of our trees will be changing their colours across the coming months.
We’re looking forward to another amazing autumnal display from this immense and important collection of trees! 👀

A large number of scarlet oaks were planted at Eastwoodhill very early on and they form the backbone of the beautiful autumn colour display at Eastwoodhill every year.

The Japanese maples are also a strong favourite for many, and we certainly have plenty of them! 🍁❤️

Whilst the Autumn equinox weather has been shocking today, it is predicted to improve tomorrow (fingers crossed 🤞) and it should be good for the weekend again! We would love to see your faces supporting the musical arts at our evening event with on Friday 🎶, or bring the tamariki to Sunday’s Teddy Bears Picnic 🧸 !

Whilst you’re here, remember to check out the beginnings of those Autumn colours and reconnect with nature within a very unique collection of stunning trees. 👌✨
