F.A.W.C! series. “We are really excited to see Winter F.A.W.C! show such significant growth, nearly doubling in size
from 2013. One of our key objectives is to increase visitor numbers in the off-seasons and believe Four Weekends of
Winter F.A.W.C! offers many compelling reasons to visit Hawke’s Bay”.
Once again, the F.A.W.C! series has attracted a host of national culinary starts who are coming to town to collaborate
with Hawke’s Bay talent. Visiting stars include Martin Bosley, Simon Gault (Euro Auckland and Masterchef NZ) , Ruth
Pretty, Chris Green (Arbitrageur, Wellington) , Michael Dearth (Baduzzi and The Grove, Auckland), Andy Deuchars
