Harvest Hawkes Bay Festival

Harvest Hawke's Bay Festival – The very best of Hawke’s Bay Poured, Plated & Played live!

Now in its fourth year, HARVEST HAWKE’S BAY 2026 will, once again, be the ultimate celebration of Hawke’s Bay’s Food & Wine Country. Following on from last year’s hugely popular event this year’s Festival will take place from 11am to 5pm on Saturday 21 November 2026.

Harvest Hawke’s Bay 2026 will feature:
EIGHTEEN of the region’s WINERIES pared with TEN EATERIES and an award-winning CRAFT BREWERY offering festival goers the opportunity to sample some of the region’s finest wines matched with food, featuring locally sourced ingredients, prepared by some of the region’s finest chefs representing some outstanding local restaurants.  THREE bands performing throughout the afternoon providing a wide variety of entertainment catering to all tastes.

With the capacity strictly limited to only 2500 tickets it creates a relaxed environment where patrons can interact personally with the winemakers and food providers presenting their wares, all while enjoying a stress-free, quintessential summer’s day out, enjoying outstanding wine, food and entertainment.

Harvest Hawkes Bay will showcase some of the best of the Hawke's Bay wine-growing region with the participating wineries representing a fantastic mix of some of the region's larger, better-known producers alongside some of the smaller more boutique regional wineries. While the wineries will present some of their finest wines, food providers are encouraged to focus on presenting some of the great local food and produce that the Hawkes Bay region has to offer.

There will also be a provision for self-contained motorhomes with transfers to and from their designated riverside parking site.
