PLEASE NOTE THE JAZZ CANNOT GO AHEAD IF WE ARE AT ALERT LEVEL 2 OR HIGHER
Every summer Coopers Creek puts on a season of laid back jazz (or sometimes "that's nothing like Jazz!" to the purists) on Sunday afternoons at our vineyard in Huapai, an easy 25 minutes from downtown Auckland.
These are free concerts for our customers, there is an expectation that our wine will be purchased. (I know, should go without saying, but unfortunately......)
Dogs and children, who are both welcome, are excepted from this expectation.
Bands play 1 – 4pm, and the Cellar Door is open 10.30am – 5.30pm.
You are welcome to bring a picnic and we have delicious cheese and fruit platters available. Please note absolutely no BYO wine. Light beer, soft drinks, Kohu Road ice creams and barista coffee available, as well as fantastic wine!
