Hawkes Bay Region Information

Days of indulgence and Art Deco

Hawke's Bay in spring is a visual feast of orchards in blossom, new buds on the vines and daffodils in bloom. Sample the fresh seasonal produce at local markets and visit the local wineries.

Spring also marks the return of the gannets to their colony at Cape Kidnappers and the hatching of new chicks.

For travellers, Hawke's Bay Wine Country presents an eclectic mix of visual and sensual experiences. The region is New Zealand's leading producer of red wines, has the greatest concentration of Art Deco architecture and hosts the country≠s most elaborate celebrations of Matariki - the Maori New Year.

As if that weren≠t enough, Hawke's Bay is also known for its artisan gourmet foods and glorious beaches that stretch from Mahia Peninsula in the north to Porangahau in the south.

The landscapes of Hawke's Bay begin with the high, forested Ruahine and Kaweka Ranges. From the mountains, the land steps down towards the coast, flattening out to become the Heretaunga Plains.

A number of wide rivers run swiftly to meet the blue Pacific Ocean. The twin cities of Napier and Hastings are the main population centres.

Blessed with a sunny, Mediterranean-style climate, Hawke's Bay is one of New Zealand's warmest, driest regions.
