Cellar of Fame
Since 1981 the Hawkes Bay Amateur Winemakers and Brewers Club have been running a monthly “points” competition. Each month features different styles or classes of Wine and Beer with judging undertaken and “points” and Gold, Silver or Bronze Certificates awarded if the entry warrants these. We also have a Best Baker trophy for a selected dish as another challange.
Initially there was one trophy for the Winemaker of the Year and one for the Brewer of the Year. Later Runner up and Novice trophies were added, while still later a Liqueur Maker of the Year trophy was included also.
The historic results, taken from the engraved trophies showing the winners are detailed below in our Cellar of Fame listings:
