Welcome to River Haven - we can't wait to splash some paint and wine around in the vineyard with you!

Let your creative spirit free, enjoy a day connecting with old friends and meeting new ones in the magical atmosphere at River Haven on the banks of the beautiful Motueka River.

On arrival you have the option to order your food & beverage from the Menu, and/or order a $10 SPECIAL which is an arrival drink & 'light' tapas prior to heading to the easels which are set up in the vines. You will be assisted by our Artvine Artist who will help you create a Vineyard Masterpiece ready to hang on your wall! Let's wish for sunshine - bring a hat!

After the event you can relax in the Gratitude Garden, play disc golf or boules or simply relax and soak up the atmosphere. Enjoy a cold pint or local wines at the iconic and entertaining Bugger Inn Pub, have a laugh at Bugger TV or enjoy a light afternoon nibble in the restaurant.

Come join us as we celebrate this wonderful venue and paint in the vines of beautiful River Haven.
