With ten vendors providing a wide range of tastes for wine, beer, spirits and food, the Raglan Vine 2026 Festival saw a packed house of enjoyment in the Town Hall.
Complimentary cheese boards from Meyer were a great ‘starter’ for attendees, who then had a chance to sample the exotic Moksha gins alongside the international JK14 wines and spritzzetto, with refreshing beers from Karamu and extensive platters keeping the taste buds very happy.
The ‘flavour’ of the event was enhanced by a secret ticket appearance and performance by local music legends, weaving country and blues harmonies over the top of their accomplished and applauded musicianship.
As expected, two favourites from last year maintained their excellent standards in Raglan’s Barrelled Wines, and Known Unknown’s return from New Plymouth.
Meanwhile spirits and cocktails from Fen & Field and the appropriately named Good Spirits allowed everyone to continue their discussions of distilling methods, and the wide range of tasty Meyer cheeses provided contrast, and additional opportunities to fill tummies and shopping bags!
