Success Stories

"As always we have had a very good response with having our vacancy on your site. Thanks for such a great medium. "

Clos Henri

"I am impressed by the quality of the information you provide to the wine industry."

Allan Johnson, Palliser Estate

"We have been working with Battersby HR Consulting for several years and have found both Heather and Paddy Battersby invaluable in terms of their professional services and experience in the industry.

They have assisted us in all areas from OSH manuals/requirements to employee contracts/issues and contractor contracts. I am sure there are many more areas they can help us with in the future.

Battersby HR Consulting have been very helpful in dealing with employment issues and in providing the practical assistance needed to deal with these issues (no matter how delicate or small) in the correct manner. They have been wonderfully supportive and understanding of our business and what we aim to achieve.

I never hesitate to call them when I feel I need an objective view of my situation and I have referred Battersby HR Consulting to friends and colleagues in the industry as well as outside and would have no hesitation in doing the same in the future."

Sherwyn Veldhuizen, Bell Hill Vineyard, Waipara

"Winejobsonline has been taken up very well by the industry as well as our grads, so it's turning into a focal point for people. With the wine industry growing, it's getting harder to know about everything that's going on, and the traditional "grapevine" has had trouble keeping up! I appreciate having a one-stop-shop for events relevant to the wine industry. I do encourage people to view and use it, as the more people that do, the more value it has. "

Dr Glen Creasy, Lincoln University & NZ Society for Viticulture and Oenology

"Please could you remove our vintage advert (placed last week) from winejobsonline - the responses came in thick and fast and we're sorted now! "

The Waiheke Wine Festival 2010
 
Starts: 06/02/2010
Type: Event
Venue: Isola Estate, Onetangi Road, Waiheke
City: Waiheke Island
Country: New Zealand
Details: The island's marketing and event management company, Let Me Out Ltd, who ran the inaugural Blues festival at the end of August, have stepped forward to create a new and exciting international food and wine experience which will show case the diverse range of products made locally.

Since these winemaking pioneers first established in 1978, over 30 more vineyards have now opened on Waiheke Island, making it a mecca for wine lovers, with over 10 grape varieties planted and harvested annually across the island.

Other vineyards include Man O War Bay Vineyard, Peacock Sky, RidgeView Estate, Cable Bay, Passage Rock, Isola. The festival expects to have 30 stalls in total.

The Waiheke Island Brewery will take a stand, having been forced to the sidelines last year by a no beer rule. The award winning micro brewery boasts five unique beers at its micro brewery including a wheat beer, dark ale, original, malt beer and ginger beer.

There will be a number of producers launching their brand new products at the festival including a new cheese maker, James Clairmont and his Californian business partner Erik Sprotte. They will be debuting two cheeses: The Rocky Bay Blue, a kiwi style creamy blue cheese; and the Onetangi Straight, an Italian Pecorino Toscana semi-soft style cheese. Their unique offering is down to their use of sheep milk to make the cheeses, which is more common outside of New Zealand.

In the spirit of passing on food secrets, there will be a demonstration area for 4 celebrity chefs to share their culinary skills with the festival goers with the challenge of creating one amazing dish in a 20 minute time frame with only one piece of equipment!

To complement the festival feel there will be an eclectic music line up including New Zealand's Salmonella Dub, the internationally renowned Beat Girls, local guitar virtuoso Andy Blue, Billy TK senior and other special guests.

Let Me Out managing director Delyth Morgan-Coghlan said, "We're putting as much emphasis as possible on creating a unique food and wine tasting experience. Imagine an open air French food market right here on Waiheke island, taking the best produce around and tantalising festival goers with tastings and aromas whilst leaving them with a bag full of goodies, order forms and culinary ideas to take home with them."
