SunLive journalist Zoe Hunter rocked out to the Classic Hits Winery Tour at Wharepai Domain.

Read here to see what she thought of the event:

Like a fine wine, the Classic Hits Winery Tour became more satisfying, more valuable and more intoxicating as the night went on.

One veteran smash-hit laden rock band, a young singing sensation and the velvet honey sounds of another smash-hit band made for a perfect blend of talent at the 17-date tour.

The three-band line up was enough to attract a crowd of close to 2000 fans making it a mini festival in the city's Wharepai Domain on Valentine's Day.

First up was Breaks Co-Op, returning to the stage for the first time since recording their sing-along hit ‘The Otherside' which ruled the airwaves and singles chart a few years ago and introduced the audience to newly released songs including ‘Sounds Familiar'.

Having warmed the audience up with families already taking to the dance floor, Breaks Co-Op opened the stage to Mount Maunganui raised Stan Walker.

Adorned in red basketball singlets with the word ‘Walker' stamped on the back, the younger generation – mostly teenage girls – screamed with delight when Stan entered the stage.

Backed with a crew of hip-hop dancers, Stan had the audience copying his booty-wriggle and singing in unison as he belted out his well-loved hits.

From the young musician, the microphone was handed to Jordan Luck and his band The Exponents, who have earned an unmatched reputation for iconic songs and sing-along shows performed to generations of fans.

The words 'why does love do this to me?” are still chanting in my head.

Delivering most of their hit songs, The Exponents – like a fine wine – have certainly grown better with years.
