Easy-Escape Corporate Events Guide...

7 compelling reasons why Ascension Wine Estate is perfect for these Auckland corporate events:

We make it so easy for you to escape the rat-race for a 1-day, ½-day or evening corporate event at Ascension Wine Estate in Matakana.

Check out these 7 compelling reasons...

1. EASY travel...
We pick you up from your offices in Auckland or Whangarei and return you safely afterwards. All you have to do is walk out your front door. No driving worries. No host responsibility worries. Just relax and be inspired by the beautiful vineyard setting at Ascension.

We can arrange large coaches for large groups, smaller coaches for smaller groups, and minivans or cars for the smallest of groups.

2. EASY en-route entertainment...
39 minutes from the Harbour Bridge to Ascension is a fairly short trip but our on-board entertainment package crams a heap of fun into that short time. It starts the minute you board the coach, turning the ride into a slowly-building crescendo of anticipation that culminates at Ascension Wine Estate. Your guests will be amped before they even get there!

3. EASY to organise, easy to customise...
Easy to organise because we've done most of the planning for you. Just choose a corporate event theme package to suit your event, or we'll customise a design-your-own option to suit the needs of your organisation. If you have chosen one of our themed solutions, we theme the venue and entertainment for each package and provide you with themed invitations and email graphics. All you have to do is invite your guests.

• 'Putting on the Ritz' 1920s theme package
• 'Masquerade Ball' theme package
• 'Hollywood Awards' theme package
• 'Mid-winter Xmas' theme package
• 'Kiwiana' theme package
• 'Simply Stylish' un-themed package

We have flexible spaces for 3 to 300 guests in our stylish and impressive corporate event function rooms. And to make things easy, we've installed the latest audio visual equipment and wireless internet zone.

4. EASY to choose this 'hot' Auckland wine region...
Matakana Coast Wine Country is definitely hot! And as the regional star of Matakana, Ascension Wine Estate has a presence and air of sophistication that's hard to beat. The 1-stage, 39-minute, door-to-door trip to Ascension is a breeze. Whether it's by car or coach, you call the shots on the pick-up and return times that best suit you. Compare that to the 3-stage trip to an island destination (bus/ferry/bus) with its inherent waiting times and longer overall travel time, and having to fit around their timetable. There's real magic in Matakana and we'd love to share it with you!

5. EASILY-enjoyed food & wine...
Our award-winning food and wine, coupled with our gracious service, is your guarantee of satisfaction. Our "Vineyard Bistro" restaurant has been awarded the NZ Beef & Lamb "Hallmark of Excellence" in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, won four HANZ (Hospitality Association of New Zealand) national "Awards for Excellence" and been a national finalist 14 times. Need we say more?

6. EASY on family time...
The beauty of booking your 1-day, ½-day or evening Auckland corporate event at Ascension is that it's such an efficient use of time. Not only will you keep workplace disruption to a minimum, you'll disrupt people's home lives even less. By avoiding an overnight stay, you avoid prolonged absence from partners, families and dependent pets.

7. EASY on the budget...
Easy to afford... there are no overnight accommodation costs to eat up your budget when you book your 1-day, ½-day or evening Auckland corporate event at Ascension. Just make the most of the day and reap the immeasurable rewards of escaping to a place of inspiration.

A boring hotel just doesn't compare when you can so easily escape the rat-race to Matakana Coast Wine Country! All round, it's an easy decision!

Our job is to make the organiser look good. You can be quietly confident knowing that we take the pain and pressure out of organising a successful corporate event Auckland. Your team will think you're a legend!
