stay at Napier's premier wine themed B&B in Hawkes Bay New Zealand. wine tour guide / foodie in a beautiful property walking distance to two of NZ's oldest wineries and fine dining. This is a world class wine region with GREAT SYRAH, Bordeaux Blends, and many white varietals. Climate like Napa/ Bordeaux, Margaret River, 39 degrees South of the equator. Terroir extraordinaire!
