A great journey connecting theClassic New Zealand Wine Trail
Enjoy stunning scenery, beautiful forest parks, buzzing nightlife and indulgent
food experiences as you taste your way through Hawke’s Bay, Wairarapa,
Wellington and Marlborough; regions accounting for more than 84% of
New Zealand’s wine production.
Along this touring route, you’ll have the opportunity to taste and shop at
more than 100 cellar doors, as well as a multitude of vineyard restaurants
and cafes. You’ll meet people with an intense passion for wine, matched by
an immense knowledge of how it’s made. Discover Hawke’s Bay, the land of
robust cabernet sauvignon and merlot; meet the Wairarapa, where pinot noir
gets star billing; get to know Wellington, a culinary destination with more
bars, restaurants and cafes per capita than New York City; and sail across
the picturesque Cook Strait on the Interislander ferry to find Marlborough,
blockbuster sauvignon blanc country.
While the main focus of the journey is wine and food, the route also serves
up all kinds of adventure and cultural experiences. You’ll encounter unique
wildlife and discover historic villages, artists’ studios, artisan food producers,
live theatre, forest hikes, brewery tours, fishing trips and much more. Take it
slow and savour every sip of the journey.

Marlborough is the southernmost of the wine regions in the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail. No trip to Marlborough would be complete without visiting some of the 35 cellar doors to taste award-winning wines. The Marlborough Sounds offer perfect settings to enjoy freshly caught seafood paired with a glass of wine, either aboard a cruise or in a secluded bay along the Queen Charlotte Track. Situated at the top of the South Island, Marlborough’s award-winning wines may be the reason you come, but its scenic beauty, activities and warm hospitality will give you many reasons to stay.

Award-winning food and wine, outstanding architecture, and warm balmy days surrounded by magnificent landscapes waiting to be explored – Hawke’s Bay is pure paradise. Hawke’s Bay is New Zealand’s oldest wine growing region, and with more than 70 wineries and 30+ cellar doors, the hardest part will be deciding where to visit. And with a reputation as the ‘fruit bowl’ of New Zealand, it’s perhaps no surprise that the local farmers’ markets are among the best in the country and must-do Hawke’s Bay experiences.
It’s a tough job being tucked between New Zealand’s finest wine regions, but Wellington, the culinary capital, is up to the job! Wellington is famed for its coffee, café scene, shopping, nightlife and performing arts, so while you’re in the city, make sure you check out a live theatre show and dine at an award-winning restaurant. You’ll love wandering around the compact city centre, discovering street art, artisan food producers and other hidden gems. Make sure you allow enough time (2-3 days) in the lively capital to discover Wellington’s culture and enjoy the stunning harbour.
The Wairarapa is at the heart of the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail. Distinctly boutique, Wairarapa wineries focus on quality rather than quantity. The region’s pinot noir has gained international acclaim due to its intensity of flavour. Cycling-the-vines around Martinborough is the relaxed and easy way to explore this tiny, distinctive village dedicated to wine.
Explore the seaside town of PictonThis vibrant seaport town sits at the head of the Queen
