It is also the gateway to the Hawke's Bay wine region, with its numerous vineyards, wineries, and tasting rooms.
Napier has a long and rich history. It was first settled by Māori in the 18th century, and it was later settled by European settlers in the early 19th century. In 1931, the city was devastated by an earthquake that destroyed most of the city's buildings. The city was quickly rebuilt in the style of the time, which is now known as the Art Deco style. This style of architecture has become synonymous with the city and is now a major tourist attraction.
