Discover Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand’s sunny wine country, celebrated for award-winning red wines, Chardonnay, Art Deco architecture and spectacular coastal scenery. Follow the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail, where cycling between 30-plus cellar doors, artisan producers and charming vineyards brings a slower pace to your travels. In Napier and Hastings, see the distinctive 1930s buildings created after the 1931 earthquake, best explored on guided walks or nostalgic vintage car tours.
