Hawke’s Bay premium wine event full steam ahead

Organisers of New Zealand’s oldest and most prestigious wine auction have today announced planning is now full steam ahead with this year’s event, which celebrates and recognises 29 years of wineries producing exceptional and sought-after auction lots.

This year’s Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction will be held on Saturday 19th September, back in the heart of Hastings at the newly refurbished Toitoi – Hawke’s Bay Arts & Events Centre.

Hastings Mayor Sandra Hazlehurst says “it is incredibly exciting to have the Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction back in Functions on Hastings at Toitoi – Hawke’s Bay Arts and Events Centre.”

“Our community will have many fantastic memories of attending the wine auction in the former Plaza and we welcome them back to Toitoi with big open arms for its 29th auction.”

“We encourage everyone to give generously at this event, which is a wonderful fundraiser for Cranford Hospice.”

General Manager, Elisha Milmine says, “The Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction is possible due to a group of very talented and successful winemakers, artists and corporate partners, coming together to donate, showcase and celebrate their works on a national and international stage. The success of this event allows all contributors to acknowledge those less fortunate in our community by gifting auction proceeds to Cranford Hospice.”
