Description

A Taste of Local Excellence!! Embark on a delightful five-hour guided journey through the Wairarapa, a region celebrated for its world-class artisan food and wine. This curated tour offers an unforgettable taste of the area's culinary highlights—from handcrafted cheeses and premium chocolates to award-winning wines—all set against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and charming country towns. Your adventure begins in Wellington, as you travel over the spectacular Remutaka Ranges, climbing to a scenic summit at 555 metres. Here, enjoy a brief stop to take in sweeping views of the Hutt Valley and surrounding ranges—a perfect introduction to the natural beauty of the region. Descending into the Wairarapa, your first stop is C’est Cheese, a boutique cheese factory and deli located in the quaint town of Featherston. Here you can sample a selection of locally produced cheeses, showcasing the flavours and craftsmanship that define the region’s food culture. From there, continue to the heart of Wairarapa’s famed wine country—Martinborough. This boutique wine village is globally recognised for its exceptional Pinot Noir and elegant cool-climate varietals. Visit one of the area's premium wineries to enjoy a tasting flight of fine wines, guided by passionate experts who will share the stories behind each drop. Next, head to the picturesque town of Greytown, renowned for its beautifully preserved Victorian architecture and artisan food scene. Here, visit the celebrated Schoc Chocolates, where chocolatier and flavour master Murray Langham crafts unique, high-quality chocolates with bold and surprising flavour pairings. Indulge in a selection of Schoc’s signature creations—a true sensory experience for chocolate lovers. The final part of your journey offers a scenic return via the historic Remutaka Rail Trail (Incline) and State Highway 2 and back in Wellington’s city centre. This thoughtfully designed tour is more than just a tasting experience—it’s a chance to discover the stories, people, and places that make Wairarapa such a vibrant culinary destination. Perfect for foodies, wine lovers, or anyone looking to explore beyond the city, the tour combines gourmet indulgence with local insight and stunning scenery.
