Piers Fuller Reporter from News of Wairarapa

Group tickets are now on sale for Toast Martinborough 2019 - celebrating New Zealand’s most iconic wine region, combining the very best wine, food and music all set amongst the vines that inspire it all.
Toast Martinborough General Manager, Anna Nielson said the 28th annual Toast was guaranteed to take festivalgoers to the very heart of the Martinborough wine community’s devotion to its craft.
“The thing that makes Toast Martinborough such a fantastic event year after year, is every one of the participating vineyards is totally commitment to the quality of the wine they make and ensuing every festivalgoer has the best possible experience.
“We have a limited number of group packages available for groups of six or more, but only for those who get in quick.”
Ms Nielson said at $80 a ticket (plus ticketing fees) group bookings offered the best value for Toast Martinborough tickets.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
