The experience

Napier's Art Deco architecture is the frame for this tour, starting with a guided photo presentation that walks you through the 1931 earthquake and the rebuild that followed. You'll see Marine Parade and the city's historic landmarks before heading out to the wineries and the hills. The tour is built around a small group and a local guide who knows the region.

Craggy Range Winery is the anchor stop, followed by a tasting at either Mission Estate or Brookfields depending on availability that day. When time allows, a third winery visit fits into the schedule. Between the tastings you'll reach Te Mata Peak for the views across Hawke's Bay. The scenery is the reason people come back to this part of the North Island. The pace is relaxed enough to linger over the wine and the landscape without feeling rushed.

An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel or cruise ship and brings you back when the tour ends. If you're staying on land, a semi lunch is included. Cruise passengers may not have time for it depending on ship timing, so check before you book. WhatsApp support is available during working hours if you need to reach the operator.
