Your Day of Wine Tasting

We then travel out to Church Road for a fine wine tasting of the 3 Classic Tom wines followed by lunch if chosen as the lunch stop
We then continue along the Tuki Tuki river valley route, undoubtedly one of the most scenic pastoral and vineyard drives in New Zealand. People often compare this area to Tuscany

Next stop Craggy Range where you will enjoy their wonderful wines along with The Prestige series of wines with amazing views of the Eastern side of Te Mata Peak.
 After lunch we will drive to the top of Te Mata Peak (elevation 399 metres). Te Mata is short for Te Mata o Rongakako - “the face of the giant”. You will hear more about this giant in stories told as we travel. From the top of Te Mata, you will enjoy amazing 360-degree views of the Heretaunga Plains. The peak is on the AA list of 101 things Kiwis must see in New Zealand
