Hawke’s Bay - Wine Country - is a must see region for its great weather, awesome scenery and world-class wine and food. Whether you take the Pacific Coast or Thermal Explorer Highways, you will find us on the sunny east coast of the North Island.

With over 2200 hours of sunshine every year, Hawke’s Bay provides the optimum lifestyle for alfresco dining, swimming beaches, fabulous fishing, café culture, vineyards, expansive vistas, shopping and outdoor attractions.

Napier is home to world famous examples of Art Deco architecture, fresh local produce and gourmet food. Visit in February for the Art Deco Weekend and Harvest Hawke’s Bay, just two of the many events this region proudly hosts. Hawke’s Bay’s many galleries and exhibitions showcase a vibrant arts scene and rich heritage.

The bay begins at Wairoa, embraces the ranges and Mohaka Forest, then it’s a smooth ride down to Napier. Vibrant Hastings and Havelock North have an easy blend of shops and cafes. Explore Waipawa and Waipukurau, 45kms further south, for a taste of hinterland hospitality.

Add Hawke’s Bay Wine Country on your list of destinations to visit. You may even want to stay longer for great seasonal work opportunities available almost all year round.
