Want to try something new, and not already a member? Come on your own, grab a friend, workmate or partner and join us for our next tasting. Take a look and see who's presenting.
44 people are booked to go to on this trip, which includes a tasting and then lunch at Coney Wines.
If you are one of that 44 and can no longer go, it is imperative that you text or ring Gayl on 021 040 6244 and let her know before this weekend as Coneys are seeking urgent confirmation of our numbers.
Once we do that, any subsequent cancellation is unlikely to result in a refund. Sadly, Palliser Estate is no longer part of our itinerary as they want to focus on the operation of their new restaurant which adjoins their tasting area, much like what we will experience at Coney Wines.
Updated details including times and the replacement winery will be emailed to everyone early next month, if not beforehand.

As mentioned in September, the trip we had to postpone earlier this year is back on for Saturday, 13 February next year and it promises to be a great day.
To enable us to finalise the arrangements and ensure we have a big enough bus, we now need all members to read the following and then email Wayne to confirm your status for the new date.
The club is holding the payments of most of those members who’d committed to going this year (ie, those who didn’t request a refund) and of course, we welcome other members who are now in a position to join the trip.
So please email Wayne by Friday, 11 December, and advise him of one of the following options, along with all applicable names.
I/we booked and paid for the March trip and will also be coming in February 2021.
I/we booked and paid for the March trip but are unable to come in February 2021 so would ask you to arrange a refund.
I/we were not on the list for the March trip but would now like to be added.
I/we were not on the list for the March trip and will not be attending in February 2021.
Please note that if you are C, you will also need to deposit $75 into the club’s bank account 06 0541 0056031 00 before 24 December.
We plan to follow the same timetable as we’d planned for last March to save you searching your inboxes. This document is just to refresh your memory – we’ll update it closer to the date when the train times for that period are confirmed. It’s also likely that we’ll be visiting a different winery to Palliser, as they are now focusing on their new restaurant, rather than tastings. Details to follow.
