Outstanding result for 2020 Hawke's Bay Wine Auction

The Hawke’s Bay community knows how to come together to create something truly special, and this year the Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction was the epitome of generosity and celebration.  The Auction was kicked off by none other than the Event Ambassador - Mike McRoberts, he shared his love of Hawke’s Bay wine with guests and raised a glass to toast the 29th annual Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction.

For 29 years our wine community has supported Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction with boundless generosity.  In this time together we have given over $3.9 million to Cranford Hospice to help people who are terminally ill make the most of their time left. This is a truly breath-taking achievement!

Sunny skies welcomed close to 650 guests to a Christmas themed, Toitoi HB Arts & Events Centre, celebration was in the air.  After wine tasting, the enthusiastic crowd eagerly filled their seats with energy high.  Harcourts Auctioneer and General Manager of Harcourts Gold (in association with Harcourts HB) - Chris Kennedy, suggested in these uncertain times we create some certainty for Cranford Hospice by bidding generously and guests sure did.

This outstanding result for the 29th annual Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction means the event continues as Cranford Hospice largest annual contributor. 

Through the support of our winemakers, artist, bidders, corporate partners and volunteers we are able to create so much more than a world-class wine event, we create a cycle of giving that has a lasting impact on our community through Cranford Hospice
