At the heart of Hawke's Bay's rich wine country, Hastings is a city defined by its exceptional produce and sunny climate. The main draw is the celebrated Food and Wine Classic, F.A.W.C!, a series of events that transforms the city into a gourmet playground. Beyond the festivals, you can cycle the flat paths of the Heretaunga Plains to visit cellar doors like Craggy Range, or explore the striking art deco architecture in the city centre, a legacy rebuilt after the 1931 earthquake.
Hastings suits food and wine lovers perfectly, while also offering a relaxed base for families exploring nearby attractions like the National Aquarium in Napier. The central city and Havelock North village are the best areas to stay, putting you within walking distance of great cafes and shops. The city is easily navigated by car, and Hawke's Bay Airport provides regional connections, making a weekend getaway straightforward.
