A quarter century-worth of teamwork and dedication to ensuring visitors get the best experience possible has seen Black Barn Vineyards recognised three times over by the region's tourism industry.
Havelock-North-based Black Barn Vineyards not only took out the top "Supreme" Award at the annual Hawke's Bay Tourism Awards on Wednesday, but also the Accommodation Award in the large category and the Essence of Hawke's Bay Award.
Black Barn Vineyards events manager Francis de Jager said the team at Black Barn were "thrilled" with the recognition.
"The work that we put in started 25 years ago to be honest."
