Food Scene
MAINA
2 Havelock RdBest coffee and the best service in the village!
Black Barn Bistro is the perfect place to spend an hour or two absorbing the atmosphere of Wine Country. It is in the heart of the iconic Black Barn vineyard surrounded by vines - a table on the large generous veranda lets you look right out across the region.
In warmer weather a courtyard covered by a canopy of grapes is also a perfect place to enjoy lunch and a glass of wine. The lunch menu is light, fresh and delicious. There is an emphasis on freshly grown Hawke's Bay produce, the selection changes with the seasons.

Clearview Estate Winery is nestled amongst the vines in a well-established coastal setting near Cape Kidnappers. Pop in for a wine tasting and a delicious casual lunch or platter!
The enclosed play area is a favourite with the kids.
