Nestled among the vines of Black Barn Vineyard, Black Barn Bistro offers a dining experience that is quintessential Hawke’s Bay. The atmosphere is relaxed luxe — think sun-dappled courtyards and a view over rolling vineyards — yet the cuisine is absolutely serious in its quality. Chef Regnar Christensen champions local provenance, presenting seasonal Hawke’s Bay produce cooked to perfection (often over a crackling woodfire grill). From artisan bread to farm-fresh vegetables and premium meats, each element on the plate sings. With an award-winning wine list to match, this bistro epitomises wine-country elegance.
