Hawke’s Bay charity wine auction refreshed (NZ)

Now clocking up over 20 years, the Hawke’s Bay Charity Wine Auction, an iconic event that is the oldest in the country and has raised more than $2 million for Cranford Hospice, is having a makeover. To be held at Queen’s Birthday weekend on Saturday 2 June, this year’s refreshed auction with its limit of 200 guests, will move from a formal dinner to a more interactive cocktail style afternoon-into-the-evening event. Bidders and guests will be able to sample the auction lots and enjoy tapas style food throughout, reports Voxy News.
