Winter F.A.W.C! kicks off on June 9 and runs through to July 9. Winter F.A.W.C! has been extended in 2017 to cater for visiting rugby fans from the UK. There will be five weekends of Winter F.A.W.C!

This Winter Series marks the fifth winter F.A.W.C! event and with sixty-four events it is the largest Winter F.A.W.C! to date.

This year we welcome Peter Gordon for the first time. London-based chef and restaurateur Peter Gordon, is one of New Zealand’s best-loved culinary exports and we are delighted he will join us at F.A.W.C! this year. Peter is cooking at two events the weekend of 16/17 June – “Fine Wine and Dine with Air New Zealand” and Peter Gordon and at “Savour with Peter Gordon at Sileni Estate”.

Events range from $20 to $275 in price and include everything from cooking classes, to dinners in private homes, truffle hunts, serious wine tastings and several events themed around rugby!

Hawke’s Bay has a global reputation for the quality of its wine and the incredible food grown here, making it the perfect place to host a food and wine festival. The event has grown considerably since the first year, getting bigger and better each year.

Hawke’s Bay Tourism General Manager and F.A.W.C! organiser Annie Dundas said the organisation is excited to be celebrating F.A.W.C!’s fifth winter birthday, “The line-up of events for Winter is our best yet. Having Peter Gordon join us is truly fantastic and once again we are amazed by the creativity that Hawke’s Bay’s food and wine folk come up with in their event planning”.

F.A.W.C! Food and Wine Classic, is a seasonal event series held twice a year in Hawke’s Bay. Winter F.A.W.C! is held every June and Summer F.A.W.C! every November.

F.A.W.C! is organised by Hawke’s Bay Tourism and sponsored by Forsyth Barr, Electrolux, NZ Sotheby’s International, Air New Zealand, Hawke’s Bay BMW, the Hastings District Council and the Napier City Council.
