Zest Food Tours, New Zealand Cuisine Tours
Recommended by Frommers: ‘a real hit with foodies’ (2010)
Enjoy an insider's experience on a Zest gourmet walking tour - sightseeing with great food and a friendly personal tour guide. Because we believe the best way to discover a new place is through excellent food, coffee and wine. A unique Zest gourmet food tour takes you to taste the best food in places the locals know and love, in small exclusive groups.
Ponsonby Auckland Gourmet Walk
Experience the cafe culture and gourmet delights of the charming urban village of historic Ponsonby. Well known for its delicious eateries, 19th century wooden buildings, arts and crafts, it’s also a great place to shop. Within easy walking distance, your gourmet tour of Ponsonby will include tastings of fine produce, chocolates, exceptional coffee at an award winning café and classic baking treats. Meet some of the culinary and creative personalities who make up the diverse and original mix that attracts locals and visitors to this part of the city. A light lunch matched with a glass of premium New Zealand wine is also included.
Wellington Zest Tours
A Zest Wellington tour introduces you personally to this compact cosmopolitan city, called New Zealand's 'culinary, cafe and coffee capital'. Did you know that Wellington is said to have more cafes and restaurants per capita than New York? Our walking tours show city sights at street level, as your personal guide shares local stories and an insider's view. Zest reveals selected favourites in the Cuba and Courtenay Quarters, often missed by most visitors. Enjoy small tastes of different foods for a gourmet tour experience with a difference. Wellington's downtown area is flat and easy walking. Small, personal tours help you discover the vibrant Wellington culinary scene from an insider's perspective.
Wairarapa Zest Tours
The peacefully rural Wairarapa region - just over an hour from Wellington - is a world away in style. Wairarapa is the Maori word for Glistening Waters. The climate and soils are ideal for growing fine foods and beverages, and Zest food and wine tours discover them. We meet people dedicated to the good things of life in this lively gourmet destination. Premium boutique wines from the Martinborough Wine Village are internationally renowned, echoing Burgundy with its small-scale vineyards and acclaimed Pinot Noir. A Zest gourmet Wairarapa tour takes you to meet owners of these typically personal businesses, producing high quality olive oil, fruit and specialist culinary products, as well as wines from Martinborough. The historic town of Greytown is appealing with its boutique stores amid pretty colonial buildings and lovely mature trees
Dunedin Zest Tours
Ideal for a walking tour, Dunedin reveals its personality, striking stone architecture, boutique stores and culinary treasures at a leisurely pace. With rugged coastline, beaches and spectacular harbour it's not surprising that seafood is a big part of a Dunedin food tour, but it's only part of the local gourmet scene. The renowned Otago Farmers Market, held near the iconic Railway Station, is a pleasure not to be missed on Saturdays.
