City Overview

Hawkes Bay is a region on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island famed for its wine and warm weather.

The region has been recognised around the world for its award winning wines that have been made locally for over 100 years making it New Zealand’s oldest wine region. The region is especially known for its fine Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties.

Hawke’s Bay is typically the first stop on the classic New Zealand wine trail, with vineyards in close proximity to both major cities Napier and Hastings. It's a popular place for bicycle wine tours too and gourmet feasts in the many cafes and restaurants dotted in and around the wineries.
