Havelock North and Hawkes Bay Wines

Havelock North is just South of Napier and Hastings, and said to be the Wine Centre of Hawkes Bay. Of course we knew little of  NZ wines before we arrived, but at this rate we we will be experts by the time we go (or at least we will have drunk as much as an expert). Napier was destroyed by an earthquake in the 1930's and rebuilt in an art deco style. Havelock North is a trendy holiday destination with a wonderful coastline, dramatic limestone cliffs, fossils and long deserted beaches. The water is only suitable for surfers in full body suits!
