Begin your journey with a scenic drive over the stunning Remutaka Ranges to the Wairarapa region, renowned for its world-class culinary producers. Just an hour’s drive northeast of Wellington, the journey includes a scenic stop at the 555m high Summit, offering breathtaking views.
Enjoy a guided tasting at Greytown Honey, sampling a range of premium local honeys. Discover unique flavour profiles shaped by New Zealand’s landscapes and learn how honey is crafted from hive to jar. (Option to upgrade to Beekeeping Experience at your own cost).
Next, enjoy approximately 1.5 hours of free time exploring the charm of Greytown at your own pace. Choose to indulge in a boutique gin or wine tasting, visit a local olive grove or cidery for a guided experience, or wander through a fragrant lavender farm in bloom, or visit the Cobblestones Museum to step back in time and experience early settler life.
If you’re feeling peckish, relax at one of Greytown’s inviting cafés for lunch, or browse the village’s eclectic mix of boutique and vintage shops for something truly unique.
These optional experiences are seasonal, at your own expense, and subject to availability. Advance bookings may be required, and your guide is happy to assist in arranging these to ensure a seamless visit.
The final stop takes you to local chocolatier Murray Langham at Schoc Chocolates, where a fun blind chocolate tasting experience provides the perfect finale to your Greytown discovery.
