F.A.W.C! Summer Series 2021 in Hawke's Bay / Gisborne

F.A.W.C! Food and Wine Classic has new dates but the same plan – to celebrate 10 years of the Hawke’s Bay’s signature culinary festival with incredible wine, fantastic entertainment and some of the best chefs Hawke’s Bay and New Zealand can serve up.

While Covid-19 forced the festival to postpone to our new dates of January 28 – February 6, the majority of F.A.W.C! events have come along for the ride. There are however, a few events that will still run in November, others that have postponed until Winter F.A.W.C! 2022 and four that unfortunately, have had to cancel outright. We know, it’s a little confusing . . . but we wanted to let everything run and give you the chance to enjoy as much of Food and Wine Country as possible – whether that’s in November, January or during Winter ’22. 

The Hawke’s Bay’s culinary tastemakers have delivered a dazzling line up of events, including a new signature showcase luncheon that will act as a cornerstone of the Summer Series for years to come.

The entire 10-day festival will be a stunning display of the very best of Food and Wine Country as the region’s finest chefs, winemakers, artisans and purveyors work alongside incredible visiting talent. And with a programme this F.A.W.C!ing good, the hardest part will be deciding which events to leave off your itinerary.

Whether you’re a sucker for an old favourite, the new kid on the block, or a combination of both, we’re confident there’s an event for you. So get booking, and happy F.A.W.C!ing.
