Accommodation: beachside at Waimarama Beach.

Meet our local food artisans, committed to perfection, it is a privilege to be a part of their enthusiasm. Gather food along the way for our lunch in a rural coastal village to meet an extraordinary Kuia (respected female elder) for a cultural welcome on to her land. She will take you on a spiritual journey what will clearly demostrate what it is that makes our indigenous people so special. Our Kuia will share lunch with us and walk with you along her beach talking about her culture, her foods and involve you in her community.

Enjoy a BBQ dinner with wines.

Visit the renowned Gimblett Gravels red wine growing wine district, taste some of the delicious wines and become acquainted with some of the subtilities of what makes these remarkable wines. During harvest time there is opportunity to join in hand-picking grapes.

Lunch platter of local produce at a Te Awanga coastal winery where you will learn about the basis of food and wine matching under a 'pasture to plate' philosophy in a relaxed winery setting, joined by a winemaker.
