Wine Tasting at Pask Winery Cellar Door in Hawke's Bay

Located in the heart of New Zealand’s renowned Hawke's Bay wine region, Pask Winery’s Cellar Door Tasting offers an intimate, 45-minute voyage into the world of artisan winemaking. Situated just outside Twyford amidst rolling vineyards rooted in rich volcanic soil and coastal influences, Pask’s newly renovated cellar door merges understated elegance with a passion for quality.

This tasting experience guides visitors through 4 to 6 carefully selected wines drawn from three distinct lines: Estate, Small Batch, and the premium Declaration range. Each pour is accompanied by knowledgeable staff who offer detailed insights into the vineyard’s approach—highlighting the interplay of climate, soil, and sustainable practices that shape these nuanced drops.

Hawke's Bay’s unique terroir—one of New Zealand’s oldest and most enduring wine regions—boasts a mix of free-draining alluvial gravels and clay loam soils. This diversity gives rise to a range of varietals prominently including Merlot, Syrah, and Chardonnay, all skillfully crafted by Pask’s winemaking team. The winery’s commitment to balancing tradition with innovation makes it an ideal destination for both novice tasters and seasoned oenophiles.

Beyond the tasting itself, the cellar door serves as a hub connecting people to the region’s viticultural heritage, all while fostering an appreciation for sustainable and precise winegrowing.

Whether you’re unwinding after a day of hiking nearby Te Mata Peak or simply looking to deepen your palate, Pask Winery offers a refined, accessible immersion into Hawke's Bay’s celebrated wine culture. Booking a tasting here is more than a beverage stop—it’s a thoughtful journey into the craft and character that define New Zealand's growing wine frontier.
