There will be a wine auction at Hawke's Bay Opera House Plaza this weekend.
Wine lovers have started the countdown for the 24th Hawke's Bay Wine Auction to be held this weekend.
The annual auction celebrates a group of talented winemakers, coming together to flaunt the fruits of their hard labour on a national and international stage.
The evening will showcase some spectacular Hawke'sBay wines that you won't find on shelves anywhere else.
Event manager Annabel Tapley-Smith said, on average, the auction has annually raised more than $100,000 and Cranford Hospice has significantly benefited.
The Wine Writers of New Zealand group will descend on Hawke's Bay tomorrow for the three-day packed itinerary concluding with the grand finale of the wine auction event.
Ms Tapley-Smith was delighted with the quality of wines for the 2015 auction.
Some of the finest wines on offer at the auction will include a 56l quarter barrique of Ngatarawa's 2014 Syrah, a half-barrique of 2014 Cabernet Franc from Mission Estate and Rod McDonald has offered a rare octer-barrique of his 2014 Syrah.
The auction will be held on Saturday November 14 from 2.30pm at the Hawke's Bay Opera House Plaza.
