Taste Hastings 2026

Get ready for Hastings’ street party of epic proportions!

Taste Hastings returns to the city centre on Friday 13 November, from 5pm to 8.30pm, for an evening of great Hawke’s Bay wine, delicious food and live music, all centred in Heretaunga Street East Block.

More than 25 Hawke’s Bay wineries, breweries and cideries will take over the street, pouring everything from familiar favourites to something new for your glass. Add in food trucks, live music, a DJ and plenty of atmosphere, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a great night out in the city.

Make a night of it while you’re here. Hastings’ fabulous eateries will also be open for dinner, dessert or a snack before or after you enjoy the action on the street.

With the East Block closed to traffic, you can wander your way along, discover local wineries, grab something tasty and soak up the atmosphere.
