7 – 10 October, 2011.
Just north of Wellington, the Wairarapa is a relaxed weekend destination for city dwellers keen to sample from a wealth of specialist food and award-winning boutique wine producers. The region also has a long aviation history – dating back to just 10 years after the Wright Brothers first flight in 1903.
Wairarapa Vintage Wings and Wine festival – to be held on either side of the Wellington Rugby World Cup quarter finals – will add an extra flight of fancy for rugby tournament visitors who drive over the hill or take the train.
Wings and Wine guests will have the run of three aircraft hangars, aerial displays and the world’s largest privately-owned WWI aircraft collection, and 10 themed stands matching superb wine and food.
