Do you love exploring nature and keeping active while on holiday? Do you enjoy sampling food and wine and meeting some of the local people behind the delicious offerings?
Our new one day EXPERIENCES are a beautiful pairing of hiking and tasting in Nature & Nosh style for those who are only visiting for a short time.
And gosh we are excited to be able to finally launch them.
Our two new experiences both operate out of the Waikato region, departing from the beautiful Hamilton Gardens daily from Monday through to Saturday during our season running 1 October until late May.
Each experience includes a 3-4 hour guided morning walk, gourmet picnic-style lunch and two visits to local artisan food producers, bistro’s or wineries. Of course, transport, snacks and local guides are all included.
A lovely mix of walking some of our favourite tracks and enjoying our afternoon guilt-free as we sample tastes of the region, we really can’t think of a better way to spend a day with a small group of new friends.
All you need to bring is your boots and suitable hiking attire, we’ll take care of the rest.
Without further ado, we would like to introduce you to: Explore & Taste AND Coast & Cuisine...
