Great concert and great venue - but what a shame about the wine!! Couldnt believe that I was at a vineyard and the Sav, the pinot gris, and chardonnay were all gone by 7pm - very poor!!!! Auckland Concert on Sat. 6th March

Great venue. Was a bit disappointed about the wine stocks running out so early though - seems strange for awinery to run out of wine at 7pm! However in saying that I had a great night. Thanks

The concert and the venue were absolutely amazing unfortunately the chardonnay and pinot gris ran out before the headline acts came on- how poor is this in a vineyard????!!! Despite this, we had a fabulous time

Concert and venue was great. For me, the level of drunks after the 2-3 hour marks was a big let down. Not sure what the answer is, but I doubt if i'll be back

As a first timer to this venue I was inpressed, Great atmosphere and views. Price if wines was a little high my only concern.

Followed the Villa Maria Winery Tour Concerts for the last 3 years and as per usual the recent one was absolutely as great as the past two I'd attended. Very disappointed & a first time that I've experienced a Winery running out of Wine though whatever the colour even before the main acts started, very poor I'd say, hope this situation does not repeat itself next summer!

Fantastic event! Great talent! Superb venue! However, the cost of wine and the length of the cues put a damper on the festivities.

A great venue, very relaxing, lots of fun. Thought the actual concert could have been better - was pretty low key.

My boyfriend and I had an awesome time on Saturday night. I loved Dave Dobbin and Bic Runga, the music was awesome the sound was so clear and the vibe in the crowd was just fantastic. We had a brilliant night thank you so much.

We're glad to hear so many of you had such a great time at the concert! As always there's a few things we need to improve for next season. We were all really disappointed that we'd run out of some wines on the bar, we worked hard to get it re-stocked within 20 mins. We will make sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks for all your feedback, we are looking forward to having you back here at Villa Maria Estate next concert season!

A great concert - absolutely lovely summer evening amongst the vineyards with fabulous music. The only things lacking were a big screen so we could see more of the musicians. And the carpark was rather a mess of cars going around in all directions after the concert because the parking staff couldn't or wouldn't open the rear gate and directed cars to go to the front entrance which was an error. Other than that, a great time.

We had a brilliant time. Pleasantly surprised by the free parking, and impressed by the way you separated the chairs from the rugs, great show and great venue. A big screen would have been good along with more food options ie: convential concert fare like hotdogs on a stick rather than $8 for an American Hotdog - also on the warm evening Ice cream would have gone down a treat, although Kapiti was on the menu we weren't able to find any.

A large screen would be nice. and wine a bit more reasonable priced after all we are a captive market!! Running out very poor

We had a ball, loved the venue, loved the atmosphere! Loved the music. Shame that a winery can run out of wine, common Villa you let yourselves down! And you had a captive market your prices should have been more reasonable!
