Taste Hastings 2026

Taste Hastings 2026 brings wine, food and live music to Heretaunga Street East in central Hastings on 6 November from 17:00 to 21:00. The street event turns the East Block into a relaxed tasting and entertainment zone.

More than 20 Hawke’s Bay wineries are expected to pour a broad selection of regional wines. Food trucks, live music, a DJ and a street lounge create an informal setting for discovering local producers and enjoying the city centre.

The B2C event is aimed at residents and visitors interested in Hawke’s Bay wine culture without the formality of a trade tasting. Its central location also makes it an attractive evening programme during a wider visit to the region.

Programme details, tasting arrangements and access conditions may be updated. Please check the official Hastings event page and the Great Wine Capitals listing before attending.
