Sunday Session III

A sneaky little extra Sesh before autumn rolls in - join us on the lawn and laze away the afternoon to the soothing sounds of The Tropical Downbeat Orchestra.

This Hawkes Bay-based creative collective has an energy-driven, eclectic repertoire that is mainly rooted in the soul, funk and jazz vibe. Lead singer Margot Wuts knows the part she has to play perfectly: at times belting it out like an old school gospel legend, at others pulling it back to a sexy sensual croon, she's very much the centrepiece around which the band weave their funky beats and jazzy grooves.

Sit back, relax, let the afternoon flow as you sup on delicious Te Awanga Estate wine (no BYO alcohol thanks) and our tasty pizzas and platters. Bring a picnic rug, a picnic (if you prefer to cater yourself) and the kids, let them free-range as you just chill.
