Hawkes Bay Wineries
With over 80% of New Zealand's plantings of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes, Hawke's Bay is often on the world stage for its award winning red wines.
The warm maritime climate and varying landscape also produces New Zealand's richest and most complex Chardonnays.
History, consistency, diversity and innovation continue to provide the foundation for Hawke's Bay's reputation as a fine wine producing region.
There are over 30 cellar door outlets to visit. The
Hawke's Bay Wine Trail map will lead you to tastings, tours and enticing winery restaurants and cafes.
