Located on the east coast of the North Island, Hawke’s Bay is one of New Zealand’s leading food and wine regions. It is the country’s oldest winemaking region and is renowned for its award winning reds. Hawke’s Bay is also home to world-class Art Deco architecture in Napier, fresh local produce and artisan food producers complemented by a vibrant arts scene and a rich Maori culture. Cape Kidnappers nature reserve is home to the largest and most accessible mainland gannet colony in the world, known in Maori as takapu.
