Hastings Wineries

Hastings has over 40 wineries, each with its own individual character and charm. Some are small boutique wineries; others are major operations that have spared no expense in setting themselves up. Most have cellar door tastings and many offer alfresco dining to complement the experience.

Today the Hawkes Bay is New Zealand's second-largest wine region, leading the country with 70% of Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% of Chardonnay production. It also produces high quality Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and sweet dessert wines, while smaller boutique wineries are constantly experimenting with new varieties.
