The effects of Cyclone Gabrielle have left many in our Hawke’s Bay Wine community at a loss with the destruction and devastation of homes and vineyards alike. Our hearts go out to all those impacted and facing the massive task of cleaning up from the cyclone.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out over this past week. While we are still assessing the full extent of the impact of Cyclone Gabrielle, we have had requests for how those wanting to contribute financially can help with the recovery and rehabilitation process.

Hawke’s Bay Winegrowers Charitable Trust has set up a Cyclone Gabrielle Relief Fund. 100 per cent of donations will go to those most in need in our Hawke’s Bay Wine community, and Hawke’s Bay Winegrowers Charitable Trust will match donations up to $30,000.
