Hawke’s Bay’s Winter F.A.W.C! back for 10th year

Hawke’s Bay’s Winter F.A.W.C! Food and Wine Classic is back for its tenth year with the region ready to welcome visitors to more than 50 events running throughout June.

Winter F.A.W.C! is a showcase of unique food and wine experiences with chefs, food producers, wine makers and others from Hawke’s Bay’s culinary landscape.

Hawke’s Bay Tourism Chief Executive Hamish Saxton says the team is delighted to create the tenth Winter F.A.W.C! after a tough period for the region’s hospitality and tourism.

“We can’t wait to welcome foodies from all over New Zealand to Hawke’s Bay to experience our incredible chefs, restaurateurs, venues, producers, artisans and event specialists,” says Saxton. 

Winter F.A.W.C! runs across the four weekends in June (June 2-4, June 9-11, June 16-18 and June 23-25) and events range from free walk-ups to premium and all inclusive, with ticket prices from $17 to $320.

Summer F.A.W.C! has been rescheduled to March 15-24, 2024, to avoid clashing with other key events happening during the traditional F.A.W.C! November window that are occupying much of the region’s accommodation and infrastructure.

Special pre-sale access starts Tuesday May 2nd, with tickets for the general public available from Wednesday May 3rd.
