This weeks Taseeee Bite is Winery
Why we love

Firstly , there’s just no where quite like it here in Hawke’s Bay PLUS you can dine in their Tree hut ( yes you read that right- Tree hut, and trust me you may not want to leave)

I’ve loved Crab Farm for years now and can hand on heart say that their food and flavours have remained consistent and downright flavoursome the entire time. Think wholesome local food paired with their own selection of amazing wines - heck I’m going one step more, imagine enjoying a wine with your meal under the trees on a sunny Hawkes Bay day, nestled by a cracking ( yet extremely safe) open fire on a cold winters night or under the fairy lights as the sun goes down on a beautiful Friday evening….convinced yet?

For me it’s ‘ the experience’ you get to enjoy when visiting Crab Farm Winery and it’s also that experience that will always keep me going back….delicious food and wine are simply the icing on the cake.

So if you’ve always driven past and thought ‘ I wonder what’s in there’ ( as I did for a number of years before kicking myself that I hadn’t been there sooner! ) Don’t be like me, book yourself a table and get there to enjoy the experience too. May even see you there 😉🍽️🥂

Pictured here - Wine tasting $10 for your choice of 4 wines, I chose the 2023 rose , 2022 Gewürztraminer
2024 Sauvignon Blanc and 2021 Pinotage

Pork Loin GF on request - served on a potato, poppyseed & tarragon cake with fennel, bok choy, rocket & apple salad with an apple reduction and beurre Blanc sauce

Scotch fillet GF on request- 250g Angus scotch fillet served on horseradish sauce, carrots & parsnips, wilted spinach, salad verde, cafe de Paris butter & pine nuts

Tiramisu - ladyfingers dipped in coffee layered with mascarpone

This weeks Tasteeeee Bite .nz
Why we love .nz -

Top of the list, you can buy a carrot! Yes that’s right, it even comes with its own carrot stand, who could ever fault that quirkiness and I myself am absolutely for it.

Honest truth, for me it sets the tone .nz is inviting, funky and memorable on every level! Great burgers teamed with an impressive selection of sides ( even broccoli for the heath conscious such as myself) not to also forget a great selection of drinks. I could honestly go on but should really leave something for you to experience for yourselves.

Before I go, I can’t sign this off without also mentioning their support for our community itself…..hats off to you guys for taking what you do to also benefit our community!

You can help your community, just by eating in your community…absolutely love it! See you again soon 🍔🍔

Definitely one of my faves here in Hawkes Bay! has never disappointed ( and im@not ashamed to say that I’ve been MULTIPLE times) 😋

Great prices with even greater Vietnamese flavours- you’re missing out if you haven’t tried it for yourself yet 🍽️🍸🥟

This weeks Tasteeeeee Bite is 😋
Why we love ?

It’s the smell as soon as you hit the farmers market on a Sunday morning for me!

With both sweet and savoury options, the mix of caramel and banana gets me 90% of the time. Held in a delicate holder, you can eat and enjoy that bad boy anywhere!

If you didn’t know, they’re also available outside Kmart Hastings but if this post had tantalised your tastebuds, get to tomorrow to grab one for yourself🥞

Why we love 😋

Well to start its food that’s also good for you! You have the choice of either a smoothie ( honourable mention- the coconut cream smudged in the sides of the cup makes it look so darn appealing) Or as a smoothie bowl ( fruit and granola being just some of the delicious added extra) need we say more!

Get there to try one for yourselves and let us know what you think 😊

Please help, I’d love to know your opinion! 📝

I’m someone who genuinely doesn’t go for a chicken dish when out and about, simply because I relate it to an ‘ at home dish’ ( with the amount of it I eat at home of course 🤦🏻‍♀️😂)

Does anyone else do this? I ask as I had this Confit chicken dish last week at and it has ABSOLUTELY derailed my perspective 😋

I absolutely LOVE it when a dish has the ability to change your chain of thoughts 🙌🏻 can anyone relate?

Why we love - You can drink cocktails from a tea pot (I know, yes a teapot 🫖, how cool right)

Their Burrata has made the top hospo lists here in NZ and we definitely can’t forget the great photo opp with bright ceiling hanging umbrellas ☔️ ( that have the ability to also transport you to somewhere other then the corner of a Hastings Street)

If you’ve been to I’m sure you can add more to this list and if you’re yet to still enjoy it for yourself, we’d love to know what was top of your list?

Ok, who’d like to know how I got to this? 🍽️🥂

Taste Hawkes Bay I mean, not this table….that would be pretty self explanatory 😋

So long ago I that can’t actually remember the date ( if I had to take a pic, I’d say 2012) I created a page called “Truly Julie” where I’d bake something delicious to photograph and share. I love to bake but used this to ultimately up skill my food photography.

Quickly realising I was eating way too many cakes and slices, I decided to take things in a new direction and focus in on my passion for dining at cafes and restaurants, creating my next adventure “Dishing Up Hawkes Bay” A page to simply share what I was eating with my followers.

Very soon everyone began to share their dining experiences online so I knew it was time to take another step.

With an event planning background I created “The Social Table” to connect local foodies regularly around the tastiest cafe and restaurant tables here in Hawkes Bay.

Unfortunately Covid quickly changed these dynamics meaning things went on the back burner, but I knew that when the time was right I’d be back

That time lead me to creating “Taste Hawkes Bay” A collaboration of all the above to not only help our local cafes and restaurants get more exposure (especially after those unsettling times) but also help my fellow foodies make the right dining decisions.

Now 2024….here we are and still learning and growing within an industry that genuinely brings me joy.

So please reach out if you’re a business in need of some help as I’m always only a message away!
