About Pask Winery
In 1981, Pask planted the first vines in an ancient Ngaruroro riverbed, founding what would become Hawke’s Bay’s renowned Gimblett Gravels wine district. More than 40 years later, that founding vision continues to shape the winery today — a story explored further in Pask Winery & the Gimblett Gravels
Now under the care of the Benton Family, this passion continues to grow stronger through the work of an award-winning winemaking and growing team.
