PRESS RELEASE – NEW WINE FESTIVAL LAUNCHES IN HAWKE’S BAY – TICKETS ON SALE NOW
Tickets are on sale for New Zealand’s newest food and wine festival – Harvest Hawke’s Bay.
The inaugural event will take place on April 1, 2023, in a spectacular riverside location, nestled beneath Te Mata Peak in the Tukituki Valley.
Featuring 16 wineries from across the region as well as nine eateries, Harvest Hawke’s Bay will be an epic celebration of Food and Wine Country at a truly bountiful time of year, when growers, producers and winemakers are sowing the rewards from their hard work over summer.
With tickets strictly limited to 2,500, this is an intimate event for foodies and wine lovers, who are looking for a special way to celebrate the final day of Daylight Savings.
The gorgeous rural outlook will set the scene for the festival as it celebrates this critical time of year, says event organiser Liz Pollock.
“The bounty of Hawke’s Bay in autumn is incredible – our winemakers are busy with vintage, fruit is coming off the trees and our local restaurants have menus filled to the brim with delicious, fresh produce. However, there’s no singular place to go where all of this is on offer. That’s what we want Harvest Hawke’s Bay to do – bring together the region’s finest wine and food for a day and celebrate all that is delicious in Food and Wine Country,” says Pollock.
Live music, from three outstanding Hawke’s Bay bands, will run throughout the afternoon, and regional shuttle services will connect Havelock North, Hastings and Napier to the event.
Alternatively, festival-goers can take advantage of the free self-contained motorhome or car parking adjacent to the festival site. Or for those wanting to incorporate some exercise into the day the site is conveniently located just off one of the many local cycleways!
The line-up of wineries for Harvest Hawke’s Bay 2023 includes Black Barn Wines, Maison Noire, Paritua Wines, Crab Farm Winery, Tony Bish Wines, Petane Wines, Oak Estate, Trinity Hill, Sileni, Askerne, Smith & Sheth, Collaboration Wines, Te Mata Estate, Te Awanga, Linden Estate and Craggy Range. These great wines will be supported by equally fabulous food from Black Barn Bistro, Oak Estate Kitchen, Valley d’Vine, Op’s Kitchen, Black Betty BBQ, Hunger Monger and Cellar 495.
