Celebrating 154 years since New Zealand's first organised game of rugby, using an oval ball 🏉 and the Monro rules, was played right here in sunny Nelson, 14 May 1870.

Nelson Football Club (Town) vs Nelson College... who won? According to the The Colonist on May 17 "it is all shove, pull, rush and roll about in a confused mass till ‘down’ is cried, and away the ball goes again...”

Town won 2-nil

Wine tours at the top of the south island can be spectacularly beautiful in the fall.
The leaves are 🍂 and the grapes are all doing their thing in vats and barrels.... winemakers and growers are quietly confident this has been a classic vintage.
Let's see, the proof will be in the tasting of vintage 2024... but in the meantime, come join us as we explore the region's wine offerings.
