THE SOHO SET
The best spot to savour a glass of wine in Rachael Carter’s Herne Bay home is the upstairs lounge. Overlooking Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour and the iconic pink Chelsea Sugar Factory, the sunroom is complete with an orange occasional chair and an orchid as arched as the Bridge, which you can view through the windows to the right.
As the founder of Soho Wines, Rachael understands the importance of hospitality. It’s midday when I visit, and no, we are not drinking wine, so we’re in the equally comfortable downstairs lounge. Rachael sits on the B&B Italia Tufty
