Event Ambassador
Mike McRoberts is one of Aotearoa’s most trusted journalists, with four decades of reporting from some of the world’s major conflict zones and natural disasters. He’s also the author of Speaking My Language – Kōrero i tōku reo, a personal account of reclaiming te reo Māori and reconnecting with his Ngāti Kahungunu roots.
As Ambassador for the Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction for the past six years, Mike brings together his love of wine, people, and place. With a deep appreciation for the care Cranford Hospice provides – something he’s experienced in his own whānau – he’s proud to support this incredible cause alongside the region’s generous and world-class winemakers.
“This role brings together everything I value – whānau, generosity, connection, and aroha. I’ve seen how special Cranford Hospice is, and I’m proud to help celebrate the Hawke’s Bay wine community, whose heart is as big as its talent.”
