More than 6,000 people dined out on stories of Cyclone Gabrielle on 20 March, raising $370,000 in relief funds.

Cooking up a Storm, organised by chef Al Brown and the Restaurant Association of New Zealand, rallied support from 157 establishments throughout New Zealand, along with help from more than 100 wineries and distributors, produce suppliers and media.

The money raised will go to the Mayoral flood relief funds in the worst affected regions, and to those in the hospitality industry with businesses and livelihoods impacted by the cyclone.

Meanwhile, Winetopia's Wine for the Bay fundraiser raised $18,778 for cyclone impacted wineries and the Hawke's Bay Foundation Cyclone Appeal, thanks to the sale of six packs of premium Hawke's Bay wine.
