In May 2023 Hawke’s Bay was named one of the Great Wine Capitals of the World.
The accolade recognises Hawke’s Bay as one of the great wine regions of the world and a leading destination for wine tourism that sets it alongside eleven other prestigious wine regions such as Bordeaux (France), Napa Valley (USA), Bilbao (Spain) and Adelaide (Australia).
Admission to the Great Wine Capitals Network comes after a stringent selection process looking at the region’s winegrowing industry, its history, its wine tourism, educational opportunities, business, and travel, as well as the cities and region itself.
