Aucklanders can celebrate the Māori new year with a smaller Matariki Festival this winter in response to a new normal for Tāmaki Makaurau.

The festival begins on 20 June with the winter solstice and ends on 15 July as the Matariki stars rise. You can experience the sights, lights, sounds and learnings of te ao Māori (worldview) in new and different ways.

Gatherings will come closer to you; they’ll be smaller, pop-up and virtual; and the spectacle of Vector Lights for Matariki Festival will bring a striking new Matariki story to the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

In previous years, flights between centres such as Auckland and Queenstown or Christchurch have sold for hundreds of dollars each way. A spot check of the Air New Zealand and Jetstar websites on Friday revealed there are low prices from both.

Air New Zealand:

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) this week predicted airlines would amass further losses in 2021 as they drop airfares as low as possible in an attempt to win back business. Forecasts predict the airline industry will lose NZ$153 billion in 2021. International passenger numbers are predicted to drop to 2.25 billion this year before rising to 3.38 billion in 2021, which will still be more than 25 percent below 2019's number.

The airfares listed above are correct at the time of publication.

The Certificate in NZ Wine runs over 4 sessions and is followed by an Advanced programme of another 4 sessions.

This week we have enjoyed tasting and learning about innovative estates such as Burn Cottage from Central Otago, Heron’s Flight who make an exceptional Sangiovese in Matakana. Always a pleasure to taste the wines of Hans and Therese Herzog and we savoured the Mistral, a blend of 60% Viognier, 20% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne.

Te Mata’s Cape Crest showcases Hawkes Bay barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc and is interesting to compare with Sancerre from Henri Bourgeois also the owner of Clos Henri. Pegasus Bay’s Finale is New Zealand best example of a Sauternes style with deliciously ripe Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Learning about New Zealand’s wine geography and tasting some special wines along the way is always rewarding.

The wines that were tasted were -
- Hans Herzog Estate, Mistral 2016
- Burn Cottage Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2016
- Te Mata Estate Winery, Caupe Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2017
- Heron's Flight Vineyard - Matakana, Amphora Sangiovese 2016
- Pegasus Bay Winery, Finale 2017
- Henri Bourgeois Sancerre, 2018 (Clos Henri Vineyard)
