F.A.W.C! - Summer 2025
Welcome to Summer F.A.W.C! Food and Wine Classic! In its 13th year, Hawke's Bay’s iconic foodie festival is set to deliver a spectacular line-up of culinary events.
This year’s programme is laden with superstars from Ben Bayly (Ahi) and Cuisine Magazine’s Chef of the Year Cory Campbell (The Grove) to local legends Casey McDonald (Craggy Range), Francky Godinho (St Georges), Sam Clark (Central Fire Station Bistro) and many more.
Now a cornerstone of New Zealand’s foodie calendar, Summer F.A.W.C! 2025 will showcase more than 30 delicious events, with everything from the F.A.W.C! Grand Long Lunch in its spectacular secret location to intimate dining experiences and summer sundowners. Wine lovers will delight in the March timing, with the opportunity to take part in the season’s wine vintage with vertical wine tastings and vintage-inspired events aplenty. What’s more, to celebrate Hawke’s Bay’s inclusion into the Great Wine Capitals Global Network, F.A.W.C! is showcasing a different member capital each year, and this year F.A.W.C!ers can ‘travel’ to Mendoza, Argentina.
So, when you’ve got a reputation as New Zealand’s food and wine country, you need a culinary festival that delivers on that promise, and in 2025 F.A.W.C! does that and more.
