Wine Country Quilts Exhibition Visitor Information

For those wishing to visit Wine Country Quilts Exhibition, our next one is 23-25 March 2012.  We are located at historic Pukeora Estate, 208 Pukeora Scenic Road, WAIPUKURAU, Central Hawke’s Bay.  To find us, if travelling north from Dannevirke on State Highway 2, turn right onto Pukeora Scenic Road and travel to the top of the hill and turn into Pukeora Estate.  If travelling south from Waipukurau on State Highway 2, turn left onto Pukeora Scenic Road and again travel to the top of the hill and turn into Pukeora Estate.  Both ends of Pukeora Scenic Road will have big signs indicating here is where to go to see the “QUILTS” and there are more signs at the turn into the Estate.

We hope you will join us on one, or more, of the 3 days to view the quilts in this exceptional setting with lovely views through the vineyard.  A cafeteria and coffee cart are available for your enjoyment as well as a variety of patchwork merchants for ‘retail therapy’ and opportunities to have some ‘hands on’ quilting experience or catch up on tips to help with patchwork and quilting.   Cost to enter is $5.00 per person with under 5 years old free.  If you are planning to visit with a busload, please contact us for assistance in making your entry to the exhibition streamlined.  Should you require additional information in regards to accommodation or other areas of interest, again contact us and we will assist.  Alternatively, check out www.chb.co.nz  We are open all three days from 10.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.
