Summer F.A.W.C! Food and Wine Classic has proven to be a compelling reason to visit Hawke’s Bay, with media from New Zealand and a number of international destinations all descending upon the region to experience the 10-day long festival in November.

International media hailing from China, The United Kingdom, Australia, all writing for high profile titles including The Guardian UK, The Evening Standard, Good Food Australia, will be attending events at The Urban Winery, FunBuns, Black Barn Vineyards and a secret location lunch.

The group will also be attending tourism activities in the region including Napier Maori Tours, Art Deco, Hawke’s Bay Farmers’ Market, and Juliet Harbutt’s ‘Hunter Gatherer Tours’.

Hosting media is an incredibly cost-effective way to promote Hawke’s Bay to a huge audience says Hawke’s Bay Tourism General Manager, Annie Dundas.

‘Hosting this media will deliver huge coverage for us, with only a small investment from Hawke’s Bay Tourism to cover logistical costs. We have to give a huge thanks to Tourism New Zealand, Air New Zealand and the very generous local operators for their contributions so this can happen.”
