From Martinborough Wine Country to the Wild Cape Palliser Coast
Leave Wellington behind and cross the Remutaka Range, where panoramic viewpoints offer a first glimpse of the wide-open Wairarapa countryside. Continue into Martinborough, one of New Zealand’s renowned boutique wine regions, for a cellar-door tasting that may include the area's signature Pinot Noir. From vineyard country, travel south towards Lake Ferry for an included lunch before following the increasingly dramatic shoreline of Palliser Bay.
The character of the region changes again at Ngawi, a working fishing village where boats and bulldozers line the rugged shore. Further along the coast, watch for New Zealand fur seals resting among the rocks before reaching Cape Palliser Lighthouse. Those keen to climb its approximately 253 steps are rewarded with expansive coastal views, providing a memorable finale to a day that brings together Wairarapa wine, rural landscapes, wildlife and one of the lower North Island’s most striking coastlines.
