The Hawke's Bay Region
Located in the east coast region of the north island of New Zealand and home to the port town of Napier, Hawke's Bay stretches 100 kilometers from the Mahia Peninsula in the northeast to Cape Kidnappers to the southwest. Studded by five major rivers, the dry, temperate climate makes the region ideal for wine production. In addition to its many vineyards, the area is also known for its stunning beaches.

Sileni Estates Winery
Established in 1998, the Sileni winery is based in the sub-region of the Bridge Pa triangle in the lush and scenic Hawke's Bay. The winemakers at Sileni are dedicated to the fine art of wine making, maintain the integrity of the fruits of the vine and ensuring quality is infused in every bottle. During tastings, guest will sip and savor their Merlot dominant Bordeaux blends, the Burgundy varieties of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, along with Pinot Gris and a Sauvignon Blanc.
