Gourmet Food and Wine Walking Tour (Wellington)

You're in for an intense culinary experience. Travel Wellington with your entertaining and knowledgeable guide, where tasting and sampling is the name of the game! Our small group tour is limited to eight guests per tour, and you'll discover the foodie's delights of this vibrant, compact city as we take you behind the scenes to places off the traditional tourist route. Wellington is New Zealand's coffee capital so it makes sense to start at the very beginning - a green coffee bean which neither looks nor smells like the end result! Understand coffee roasting and try some interesting coffees and iconic cafe food before continuing on your tour. Next you will explore some of Wellington's wonderful food stores as we walk, talk and savour. You'll sample some local specialties and talk with some passionate, dedicated food professionals. We'll take you to places you probably wouldn't find by yourself, places where the locals go. You'll love the fresh food stores, where chefs and foodies shop. Find bakery products, fresh seafoods, produce, meats and deli products, cheeses galore and lots of wonderful specialty food in jars. Finish with a delicious three-course tasting-style lunch with carefully matched regional wines at a top Wellington restaurant or cafe! Take home a package of recipes, food information and our favourite picks of restaurants, bars, cafes and food outlets for further exploration in your own time. With this gourmet walking tour, you’ll work up an appetite for the best of Wellington.
