Organisers of New Zealand’s oldest and most prestigious wine auction are thrilled with the uptake of tickets that went on sale last week on 1st July. People across the country snapped up tickets as soon as they went on sale.
This year’s Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction will be held on Saturday 17th September, in the heart of Hastings at the newly refurbished ToiToi – Hawke’s Bay Arts & Events Centre.
Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction, General Manager – Elisha Milmine says, “We were delighted with the enthusiasm of ticket purchasers, the tables we had for sale, sold out in a short time, there are still a few tickets available, but people shouldn’t delay if they want to join in the celebrations this year. The line-up of auction lots is outstanding this year, all donated by extremely generous people to support Cranford Hospice”
