Experience the Tuscany of New Zealand in Upper Moutere

Upper Moutere is one of New Zealand’s most picturesque wine regions, known for its rolling hills, olive groves and boutique cellar doors. Your day begins with a shuttle into this scenic countryside before you set off on a personalised cycling route crafted around your tastes and interests. Along the way you can visit favourite wineries such as Gravity, Heaphy, Neudorf and Moutere Hills, each offering exceptional wine and beautiful rural outlooks.

The area is rich with history, art and hidden gems, giving you plenty of opportunities to stop and explore. Visit a settler’s cottage, browse local galleries or wander the peaceful grounds of a Buddhist temple. Many travellers end their day with a hearty pub meal or fine dining at Moutere Hills before returning to Nelson with a few bottles of their newfound favourites.
