F.A.W.C Summer 2019

Summer F.A.W.C! 2019 heralds the eighth glorious year for Hawke’s Bay’s acclaimed Food and Wine Classic. It’s quite the history we’ve built up – 14 series across summer and winter, featuring more than 850 entertaining events, satisfying nearly 50,000 F.A.W.C!ers. Time to rest on our laurels? No F.A.W.C!ing way.

With more than 75 mouthwatering events to look forward to, Summer F.A.W.C! (in our humble opinion) yet again sets the bar for New Zealand food and wine festivals. Hawke’s Bay’s chefs, winemakers, brewers and foodies have created a line-up of events so tasty, so adventurous, so deliciously different, that we feel quite confident you’ll be literally counting down the days until F.A.W.C! hits Hawke’s Bay. Keep an eye out too, for some exciting collaborations featuring invited talent from around New Zealand.

This year, you’ll find us playing with both smoke and fire, paying homage to honey, and eating cheese like there’s no tomorrow. There’s brunches, BBQs and baking events for days, along with enchanted gardens, cinema screenings, restaurant swaps, and walk-up wine bars. We’re also saying “Kia Ora” to a number of new friends, including Market St, The Motherhood Project, Central Fire Station, Arapata Lodge, Zeffer Cider, and Spitfire Catering.

So get booking, and happy F.A.W.C!ing.
