Step into the heart of Hawke’s Bay wine country on this elegant journey through one of New Zealand’s most celebrated food and wine regions. The Wine & Gourmet Odyssey is more than a tasting tour—it’s a full-sensory experience blending local storytelling, viticulture, and fine dining. From the vine to the glass, you’ll uncover the secrets behind the region’s most awarded wines.

The tour travels through key sub-regions like the Gimblett Gravels, known for their stony soils and world-class reds. You'll enjoy behind-the-scenes access to top wineries, each with their own style and legacy. With expert guides leading the way, the day is as informative as it is delicious.
