Hawke’s Bay on the eastern North Island is one of New Zealand’s important wine and food regions. Vineyards, orchards and farmland spread inland from the Pacific, while Napier contributes one of the country’s most distinctive architectural stories.
Wine and produce
Private tastings can focus on the region’s established strengths, while farm shops, restaurants and artisan producers broaden the experience beyond wine. Cycling between selected estates is another enjoyable way to explore.
Napier and the coast
Napier’s concentration of Art Deco architecture reflects rebuilding after the 1931 earthquake. Combining the city with several nights among the vineyards creates a varied North Island stay.
