Discover Petone’s Delicious Food Scene

The Taste of Petone Gourmet Tour is a flavour-packed half-day experience showcasing some of the best local food and drink around Wellington Harbour. Beginning with a scenic coastal drive to the historic seaside suburb of Petone, the tour introduces guests to passionate local makers and artisan producers. Small group sizes keep the experience relaxed, personal, and full of opportunities to chat with the experts behind each tasting.

Your first stop is a specialty coffee roastery where you’ll discover the fascinating journey from coffee shrub to cup through a guided tasting experience. From there, sample locally sourced cheeses and seasonal delicacies at Forage before wandering Petone’s famous Jackson Street, home to dozens of cafés, bars and eateries. The tour blends flavour, history and local culture into one enjoyable foodie escape.

Chocolate, Craft Beer and Local Hospitality

Sweet lovers will especially enjoy the chocolatier stop, where handcrafted treats are made using premium ingredients and European-inspired techniques. You’ll sample fine chocolates and learn about the creative process behind each delicious bite. The use of local New Zealand products alongside world-renowned couverture chocolate creates flavours that are both refined and uniquely Kiwi.

To round out the day, the tour finishes with a craft beer tasting at a local brewery known for producing fresh and distinctive brews. Along the way, your guide shares stories about Petone’s heritage and evolving culinary scene while taking care of all transport and logistics. With tastings, expert hosts and a relaxed pace, this gourmet tour is a fantastic way to experience Wellington’s food culture beyond the city centre.
