Hawke's Bay is loved for its sunny climate, fabulous beaches and vineyards; it is also one of the
country's most important pip-fruit growing areas. The Hawke's Bay region has around 2200 hours of
sunshine every year, so there's ample opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Between the forested
Ruahine and Kaweka Ranges and the ocean, the Heretaunga Plains are sliced into portions by wide,
braided rivers - the perfect landscape for cycling, fishing, hiking, surfing and other fresh-air
activities. Aided by a warm, maritime climate and grape-friendly soils, Hawke's Bay has a long, rich
heritage of wine production. The region excels with classic grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Chardonnay and, more recently, Syrah. Most vineyards welcome visitors for tasting
sessions - many run a cafe or restaurant so that you can match fine wines to fine food. Hawke's Bay
is also home to a world-class concentration of 1930s architecture. Both Napier and Hastings were
seriously damaged during the region's huge 1931 earthquake (7.8 on the Richter scale), then rebuilt
in the architectural styles of the times - Art Deco, Spanish Mission and Stripped Classical. East of
Hastings is Cape Kidnappers, a large gannet colony. Over summer, visitors see chicks being raised by
their parents. At all times of the year, it is great to watch the gannets cruising the air currents
and diving for fish.
